Contributors in Metallurgy

Metallurgy

A type of concentration-cell corrosion; corrosion of a metal that is caused by the concentration of dissolved salts, metal ions, oxygen, or other gases, and such, in crevices or pockets remote from ...

critical cooling rate

Metals; Metallurgy

The limiting rate at which austenite must be cooled to ensure that a particular type of transformation product is formed.

creep limit

Metals; Metallurgy

(1) The maximum stress that will cause less than a specified quantity of creep in a given time. (2) The maximum nominal stress under which the creep strain rate decreases continuously with time under ...

creep strength

Metals; Metallurgy

(1) The constant nominal stress that will cause a specified quantity of creep in a given time at constant temperature. (2) The constant nominal stress that will cause a specified creep react at ...

creep

Metals; Metallurgy

The flow or plastic deformation of metals held for long periods of time at stresses lower than the normal yield strength. The effect is particularly important if the temperature of stressing is above ...

covered electrode

Metals; Metallurgy

A filler-metal electrode, used in arc welding, consisting of a metal core vire with a relatively thick covering which provides protection for the molten metal form the atmosphere, improves the ...

corrosion fatigue

Metals; Metallurgy

Effect of the application of repeated or fluctuating stresses in a corrosive environment characterized by shorter life than would be encountered as a result of either their repeated or fluctuating ...
