protective potential

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The threshold value of the corrosion potential that has to be reached to enter a protective potential range. The term used in cathodic protection to refer to the minimum potential required to ...

(1) Exposing to the action of air. (2) Causing air to bubble through. (3) Introducing air into a solution by spraying, stirring, or a similar method. (4) Supplying or infusing with air, as in sand ...

temper

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

(1) In heat treatment, to reheat hardened steel or hardened cast iron to some temperature below the eutectoid temperature for the purpose of decreasing hardness and increasing toughness. The process ...

pre cracked specimen

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A specimen that is notched and subjected to alternating stresses until a crack has developed at the root of the notch.

alkali metal

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A metal in group lA of the periodic system - namely, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They form strongly alkaline hydroxides, hence the name.

amorphous solid

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A rigid material whose structure lacks crystalline periodicity; that is, the pattern of its constituent atoms or molecules does not repeat periodically in three dimensions. See also metallic glass. ...

stabilizing treatment

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

(1) Before finishing to final dimensions, repeatedly heating a ferrous or nonferrous part to or slightly above its normal operating, temperature and then cooling to room temperature to ensure ...
