  2. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another, in the presence of an electrolyte.

  3. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Bimetallic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion) is an electrochemical process in which one metal (more active one) corrodes preferentially when it is in electrical contact with another dissimilar metal, in the presence of an electrolyte.

  4. Bimetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetal

    Bimetal refers to an object that is composed of two separate metals joined together. Instead of being a mixture of two or more metals, like alloys, bimetallic objects consist of layers of different metals.

  5. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

    Galvanic corrosion is the electrochemical erosion of metals. Corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte , such as salt water. This forms a galvanic cell, with hydrogen gas forming on the more noble (less active) metal.

  6. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by ...

  7. Copper-clad steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper-clad_steel

    John Ferreol Monnot, metallurgist, the inventor of the first successful process for manufacturing copper-clad steel. Copper-clad steel (CCS), also known as copper-covered steel or the trademarked name Copperweld is a bi-metallic product, mainly used in the wire industry that combines the high mechanical strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper.

  8. Bimetallic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic

    Bimetallic or bi-metallic may refer to: Bimetallism, a monetary standard in economics; Bimetallic strip, a temperature sensitive mechanical device; Alloy (binary alloy), in metallurgy, a mixture of two metals; Bi-metallic coin; Bi-Metallic Investment Co. v. State Board of Equalization

  9. Tribocorrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribocorrosion

    enhanced corrosion of the material, if the corrosion rate of the material depends on the thickness of the oxide layer. The mechanism of erosion corrosion, the materials affected by it, and the conditions when it occurs are generally different from that of flow-accelerated corrosion , although the latter is sometimes classified as a sub-type of ...
