Corrosion engineering

acicular ferrite

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A highly substructured, non-equiaxed ferrite formed upon continuous cooling by a mixed diffusion and shear mode of transformation that begins at a temperature slightly higher than the transformation ...

torsion

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

A twisting deformation of a solid body about an axis in which lines that were initially parallel to the axis become helices.

artificial aging

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Aging above room temperature. See also aging. Compare with natural aging. .

alkylation

Materials science; Corrosion engineering
