Corrosion engineering

coal tar epoxy

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"A combination of epoxy, curing agent, and tar products which give a very water resistant film."

coating strength

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"a) a measure of the cohesive bond within a coating, as opposed to coating-to-substrate bond (adhesive strength), b) the tensile strength of a coating, usually expressed in kpa (psi)."

coating stress

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"The stresses in a coating resulting from rapid cooling of molten material or semimolten particles as they impact the substrate. coating stresses are a combination of body and textural ...

acivation overpotential

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Acivation overpotential is "the overpotential associated with the charge-transfer reaction elementary step in the overall electrode reaction."

actuarial analysis

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

Actuarial analysis is a "statistical analysis of failure data to determine the age-reliability characteristics of an item."

adsorbent

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"A material, usually solid, capable of holding gases, liquids and/or suspended matter at its surface and in exposed pores. Activated carbon is a common adsorbent used in water treatment."

acid cleaning

Materials science; Corrosion engineering

"The process of cleaning the interior surfaces of steam generating units by filling the unit with dilute acid accompanied by an inhibitor to prevent corrosion, and subsequently draining, washing ...
