The intensity of the internally distributed forces or components of forces that resist a change in the volume or shape of a material that is or has been subjected to external forces. Stress is expressed in force per unit area and is calculated on the basi ...

Resin formed from reactions involving furfuryl alcohol alone or in combination with other constituents.

The swelling or bubbling of a coating usually because of heating (term currently used in space and fire protection applications).

The technique for maintaining a constant electrode potential.

Discontinuities in ci coating (suchasporosity, cracks, gape. and similar Bawd) that allow areas of base metal to be exposed to any corrosive environment that contacts the coated surface.

Reduction in mechanical properties of a metal as a result of local penetration of solder along grain boundaries.

See galvanostatic.

See hydrogen embrittlement.

Cracking or fracturing that occurs between the grains or crystals in a polycrystalline aggregate. Also called intercrystalline cracking. Contrast with transgranular cracking.

Deep internal cracks caused by hydrogen.

Aging induced by cold working.

Through or across crystals or grains. Also called intracrystalline or transcrystalline.

The component of either a liquid or solid solution that is present to a greater or major extent; the component that dissolves the solute.

Electrode potential where half-cell reaction involves only the metal electrode and its ion.

Corrosive attack that progresses preferentially along interdendritic paths. This type of attack results from local differences in composition, such as coring commonly encountered in alloy castings.

See intergranular corrosion.

In fatigue, the variation in the stress-intensity factor in cycle, that is, Kmax-Kmin.

The ability of a metal to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing.

See hydrogenembriltlement.

Having an affinity for water. Contrast with hydrophobic.
