Corrosion engineering

open-circuit potential

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The potential of an electrode measured with respect to a reference electrode or another electrode when no current flows to or from it.

The process in which a metal fractures prematurely under conditions of simultaneous corrosion and repeated cyclic loading at lower stress levels or fewer cycles than would be required in the absence ...

deactivation

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The process of prior removal of the active corrosive constituents usually oxygen, from a corrosive liquid by controlled corrosion of expendable metal or by other chemical means, thereby making the ...

elasticity

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The property of a material by virtue of which deformation caused by stress disappears upon removal of the stress. A perfectly elastic body completely recovers its original shape and dimensions after ...

plasticity

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The property that enables a material to undergo permanent deformation without rupture.

exchange current density

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The rate of charge transfer per unit area when an electrode reaches dynamic equilibrium (at its reversible potential) in a solution; that is, the rate of anodic charge transfer (oxidation) balances ...
