Corrosion engineering

cold welding

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"Cohesion between two surfaces of a metal, generally under the influence of externally applied pressure at room temperature."

combined available chlorine

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"The chlorine present as chloramine or other chlorine derivatives in a water, but still available for disinfection and the oxidation of organic matter. Combined chlorine compounds are more ...

combustion efficiency

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"The effectiveness of the burner to completely burn the fuel. A well designed burner will operate with as little as 10 to 20% excess air, while converting all combustibles in the fuel to useful ...

compensated hardness:

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"A calculated value based on the total hardness, the magnesium to calcium ratio and the sodium concentration of a water. It is used to correct for the reductions in hardness removal capacity ...

composite coating

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"Composite coating: mixture of two or more materials. Many thermal spray coatings could be considered as composites."

condition monitoring

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"The use of specialist equipment to measure the condition of equipment. Vibration Analysis, Tribology and Thermography are all examples of Condition Monitoring techniques."

conditional probability of failure

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"Conditional probability of failure: the probability that an item will fail during a particular age interval, given that it survives to enter that age."
