Corrosion engineering

capillary action

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"A phenomenon in which water or many other liquids will rise above the normal liquid level in a tiny tube or capillary, due to attraction between molecules of the liquid for each other and the ...

acoustic emission (AE)

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Acoustic emissions are sound or ultrasound pulses generated during crack initiation or propagation in materials and coatings as a result of being subjected to stress. Acoustic emissions can be ...

Corrosion monitoring with AE is based on measuring acoustic sound waves that are emitted during the growth of microscopic defects, such as stress corrosion cracks. The sensors can thus essentially be ...

activation controlled Corrosion processes

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

For purely activation controlled processes, each reaction can be described by a straight line on an E vs. Log i plot, with positive Tafel slopes for anodic processes and negative Tafel slopes for ...

adhesive strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

The magnitude of attractive forces, generally physical in character, between a coating and substrate. Two principle interactions that contribute to the adhesion are van der Waals forces and permanent ...

aluminizing (hot dip)

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

An aluminum coating process based on submersion in liquid metal, usually with a strip steel product being continuously fed through the bath. Provide galvanic corrosion protection.

chromium

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Steel-gray, lustrous, hard and brittle metallic element that takes its name from the Greek word for color (chrome) because of the brilliant colors of its compounds. It is found primarily in chromite. ...
