Corrosion engineering
anodic protection
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A technique to reduce corrosion of a metal surface under some conditions by passing sufficient to it to cause its electrode potential to enter and remain in the passive region; imposing an external ...
polymer
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A chain of organic molecules produced by the joining of primary units called monomers.
austenite
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A solid solution of one or more elements in face-centered cubic iron. Unless otherwise designated (such as nickel austenite), the solute is generally assumed to be carbon.
dissimilar electrode cells
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
One of three main types of cells that take part in corrosion reactions. The other two types of cells are: concentration cells and differential temperature cells. Examples of dissimilar electrode ...
tin coatings
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Tinplate is a low-carbon steel strip product coated on both sides of metal with a thin layer of tin. Several million tons of tinplate are produced each year, and most of it is used to manufacture ...
aluminum coatings
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Steel is aluminized (i.e., coated with aluminum) by hot dipping or spraying and, to a lesser extent, by cementation. Molten baths of aluminum for hot dipping usually contain dissolved silicon in ...
vitreous enamels
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Vitreous enamels, glass linings, and porcelain enamels are all essentially glass coatings of suitable coeffi cient of expansion fused on metals. Glass in powdered form (as glass frits) is applied to ...
