Corrosion engineering

strain

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The unit of change in the size or shape of a body due to force. Also known as nominal strain.

electrochemical equivalent

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The weight of an element or group of elements oxidized or reduced at 100%, efficiency by the passage of a unit quantity of electricity. Usually expressed as grams per coulomb (1 amp/s).

external circuit

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The wires, connectors, measuring devices, current sources, etc. that are used to bring about or measure the desired electrical conditions within the test cell. It is this portion of the cell ...

flame spraying

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Thermal spraying in which coating material is fed into an oxyfuel gas flame, where it is melted. Compressed gas may or may not be used to atomize the coating material and propel it onto the ...

This potential, sometimes called zeta potential, is a potential difference in the solution caused by residual, unbalanced charge distribution in the adjoining solution, producing a double layer. The ...

threshold stress

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Threshold stress for stress-corrosion-cracking. The critical gross section stress at the onset of stress-corrosion cracking under specified conditions.
