  2. Liquid metal embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_metal_embrittlement

    Liquid metal embrittlement (also known as LME and liquid metal induced embrittlement) is a phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals experience drastic loss in tensile ductility or undergo brittle fracture when exposed to specific liquid metals.

  3. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in this context, the term "degradation" is more common. Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures including mechanical strength, appearance, and permeability to liquids and gases.

  4. Embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrittlement

    Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) is the embrittlement caused by liquid metals. Metal-induced embrittlement (MIE) is the embrittlement caused by diffusion of atoms of metal, either solid or liquid, into the material. For example, cadmium coating on high-strength steel, which was originally done to prevent corrosion.

  5. Liquidmetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal

    The lack of grain boundaries in a metallic glass eliminates grain-boundary corrosion—a common problem in high-strength alloys produced by precipitation hardening and sensitized stainless steels. Liquidmetal alloys are therefore generally more corrosion resistant, both due to the mechanical structure as well as the elements used in its alloy.

  6. Metal-induced embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-induced_embrittlement

    Metal-induced embrittlement (MIE) is the embrittlement caused by diffusion of metal, either solid or liquid, into the base material. Metal induced embrittlement occurs when metals are in contact with low-melting point metals while under tensile stress. The embrittler can be either solid or liquid (liquid metal embrittlement).

  7. Environmental stress fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_stress_fracture

    Corrosion during service in moist environments generates hydrogen, part of which may enter the metal as atomic hydrogen (H •) and cause embrittlement. Presence of a tensile stress, either inherent or externally applied, is necessary for metals to be damaged. As in the case of stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement may also lead to ...

  8. Lead-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-cooled_fast_reactor

    Corrosion is fuelled by the dissolution of metals present in alloys (e.g., Ni, Cr, released from stainless steel) in the liquid metal coolant (formation of liquid amalgam with precipitation of the dissolved metals at cold points) and the liquid metal embrittlement (LME) of the fuel claddings and

  9. Corrosion inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitor

    A corrosion inhibitor or anti-corrosive is a chemical compound added to a liquid or gas to decrease the corrosion rate of a metal that comes into contact with the fluid. [1] The effectiveness of a corrosion inhibitor depends on fluid composition and dynamics.
