  2. 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 ...

    Corrosion engineering is an engineering specialty that applies scientific, technical, engineering skills, and knowledge of natural laws and physical resources to ...

  5. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    The results achieved by both these electronic corrosion inhibitor devices point to the need for further research and testing in order to better understand how these devices are able to generate a shift in the potential of the metal panels, i.e., a cathodic effect, in the absence of a continuous electrolytic path required to close the electrical ...

  6. Coal dust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_dust

    Coal dust is a fine-powdered form of coal which is created by the crushing, grinding, or pulverization of coal rock. Because of the brittle nature of coal, coal dust can be created by mining, transporting, or mechanically handling it.

  7. Crevice corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 deposits and under ...

  8. Selective leaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_leaching

    In metallurgy, selective leaching, also called dealloying, demetalification, parting and selective corrosion, is a corrosion type in some solid solution alloys, when in suitable conditions a component of the alloys is preferentially leached from the initially homogenous material.

  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 ...
