The technique for maintaining a constant electrode potential.

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

The liquor resulting from dissolving molten melt irom the kraft recovery furnace in water. See also kraft process and smelt.

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

Deep internal cracks caused by hydrogen.

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

See hydrogen embrittlement.

Ratio of the depth of the deepest pit resulting from corrosion divided by the average penetration as calculated from weight loss.

Aging induced by cold working.

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

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

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

See galvanostatic.

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

See hydrogenembriltlement.

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.

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

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

A plot of r urrent density versus electrode potential for a specific electrode-electrolyte combination.

See intergranular corrosion.
