increasing corrosion
1Corrosion 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 …
2Intergranular corrosion — (IGC), also termed intergranular attack (IGA), is a form of corrosion where the boundaries of crystallites of the material are more susceptible to corrosion than their insides. ( Cf. transgranular corrosion.)This situation can happen in otherwise …
3Flow-accelerated corrosion — (FAC), also known as flow assisted corrosion, is a corrosion mechanism in which a normally protective oxide layer on a metal surface dissolves in a fast flowing water. The underlying metal corrodes to re create the oxide, and thus the metal loss… …
4alluvial corrosion — Greater intensity of solution, caused by the passage of water through unconsolidated deposits rich in carbon dioxide, thus increasing aggressivity [19]. See also corrosion, accelerated corrosion …
5metallurgy — metallurgic, metallurgical, adj. metallurgically, adv. metallurgist /met l err jist/ or, esp. Brit., /meuh tal euhr jist/, n. /met l err jee/ or, esp. Brit., /meuh tal euhr jee/, n. 1. the technique or science of working or heating metals so as… …
6DB Class 403 — This article is about the EMU built in the 1970s. For the 3rd generation ICE, see ICE 3. DB Class 403 Number(s): ET 403/404 001–003 Quantity: 3 Manufacturer: LHB …
7steel — steellike, adj. /steel/, n. 1. any of various modified forms of iron, artificially produced, having a carbon content less than that of pig iron and more than that of wrought iron, and having qualities of hardness, elasticity, and strength varying …
8environmental works — ▪ civil engineering Introduction infrastructure that provides cities and towns with water supply, waste disposal, and pollution control services. They include extensive networks of reservoirs, pipelines, treatment systems, pumping stations …
9Fouling — This article is about fouling in engineering. For uses of the term foul outside technology, see Foul (disambiguation). Not to be confused with fowling. Heat exchanger in a steam power plant, fouled by macro fouling …
10Copper wire and cable — Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the 1820s.[1][2] The invention of the telephone in 1876 proved to be another early boon for copper wire.[3] Today, despite competition from… …
