  2. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    When corrosion does occur, it is almost always a simple dissolution of the material or chemical reaction, rather than an electrochemical process. A common example of corrosion protection in ceramics is the lime added to soda–lime glass to reduce its solubility in water; though it is not nearly as soluble as pure sodium silicate , normal glass ...

    The Spanish language does not explicitly demonstrate in its grammar whether an object, either direct or indirect, refers to an animate or inanimate object.

For first or native language attrition, this process is generally caused by both isolation from speakers of the first language ("L1") and the acquisition and use of a second language ("L2"), which interferes with the correct production and comprehension of the first.

  6. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

    Corrosion engineering is an engineering specialty that applies scientific, technical, engineering skills, and knowledge of natural laws and physical resources to design and implement materials, structures, devices, systems, and procedures to manage corrosion. [1] From a holistic perspective, corrosion is the phenomenon of metals returning to ...

  7. Crevice corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crevice_corrosion

    Crevice corrosion. Crevice corrosion refers to corrosion occurring in occluded spaces such as interstices in which a stagnant solution is trapped and not renewed. [1] These spaces are generally called crevices. Examples of crevices are gaps and contact areas between parts, under gaskets or seals, inside cracks and seams, spaces filled with ...

  8. Stress corrosion cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

    Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is the growth of crack formation in a corrosive environment. It can lead to unexpected and sudden failure of normally ductile metal alloys subjected to a tensile stress, especially at elevated temperature. SCC is highly chemically specific in that certain alloys are likely to undergo SCC only when exposed to a ...
