Corrosion engineering
atomic-hydrogen welding
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Arc welding in which molecular hydrogen, passing through an arc between two tungsten or other suitable electrodes, is changed to its atomic form and then re-combines to supply the heat for welding.
average life
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
How long, on average, a component will last before it suffers a failure. Commonly measured by Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
beerstone scale
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Beerstone scale or calcium oxalate (CaC2O4) is a type of scale common in the brewing industry. This precipitate is largely due to a reaction between alkaline cleaners (caustic), hard water minerals ...
microbiologically Influenced corrosion
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Sometimes called Microbial Corrosion or Bio corrosion refers to corrosion that is affected by the action of microorganisms in the environment.
busheling
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
A widely traded form of steel scrap consisting of sheet clips and stampings from metal production. Bushel baskets were used to collect the material through World War II, giving rise to the term.
cadmium plating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Cadmium plating: the electrolytic deposition of cadmium to provide galvanic corrosion protection. Restricted by environmental considerations.
cadmium ion plating
Materials science; Corrosion engineering
Cadmium ion plating: the deposition of cadmium by a vacuum process to provide galvanic corrosion protection.
