wash primer
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A thin, inhibiting paint, usually chromate pigmented with a polyvinyl butyrate binder.
green rot
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A form of high-temperature corrosion of chromium-bearing alloys in which green chromium oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ) forms, but certain other alloy constituents remain metallic; some simultaneous carburization ...
immunity
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A state of resistance to corrosion or anodic dissolution of a metal caused by thermodynamic stability of the metal.
additive
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A substance added in a small amount, usually to a fluid, for a special purpose, such as to reduce friction, corrosion, etc.
physical vapor deposition
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A coating process whereby the cleaned and masked component to be coated is heated and rotated on a spindle above the streaming vapor generated by melting and evaporating a coating material source bar ...
reference electrode
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A nonpolarizable electrode with a known and highly reproducible potential used for potentiometric and voltammetric analyses. See also calomel electrode.
electropolishing
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A technique commonly used to prepare metallographic specimens, in which a high polish is produced by making the specimen the anode in an electrolytic cell, where preferential dissolution at high ...
