stress corrosion failure
1Stress corrosion cracking — (SCC) is the unexpected sudden failure of normally ductile metals or tough thermoplastics subjected to a tensile stress in a corrosive environment, especially at elevated temperature (in the case of metals). SCC is highly chemically specific in… …
2Failure causes — are defects in design, process, quality, or part application, which are the underlying cause of a failure or which initiate a process which leads to failure. Where failure depends on the user of the product or process, then human error must be… …
3Corrosion fatigue — is fatigue in a corrosive environment. It is the mechanical degradation of a material under the joint action of corrosion and cyclic loading. Nearly all engineering structures experience some form of alternating stress, and are exposed to harmful …
4Failure analysis — is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure. It is an important discipline in many branches of manufacturing industry, such as the electronics industry, where it is a vital tool used in the development of… …
5Corrosion — v · d · e Materials failure modes Buckling · …
6Failure theory (material) — v · d · e Materials failure modes Buckling · Corro …
7corrosion fatigue — /kəˈroʊʒən fətig/ (say kuh rohzhuhn fuhteeg) noun the failure of a metal under stress when it is exposed to corrosive attack …
8Metallurgical failure analysis — is the process by which a metallurgist determines the mechanism that has caused a metal component to fail. Typical failure modes involve various types of corrosion and mechanical damage. It has been estimated that the direct annual cost of… …
9Environmental stress fracture — In materials science, environmental stress fracture or environment assisted fracture is the generic name given to premature failure under the influence of tensile stresses and harmful environments of materials such as metals and alloys,… …
10Crevice corrosion — refers to corrosion occurring in confined spaces to which the access of the working fluid from the environment is limited. These spaces are generally called crevices. Examples of crevices are gaps and contact areas between parts, under gaskets or …
