Q

Uniform –

A

All corrosion happens equally across the entire surface

24
Q

Galvanic –

A

Two different metals are exposed to an electrolyte (think salt water), and
electrons travel from one metal, through the electrolyte, to the other metal

25
Crevice –
corrosion is local to a crevice between two faces
26
Pitting –
Similar to crevice corrosion, caused by defects in the material
27
Intergranular –
Corrosion happens along grain boundaries
28
Selective Leaching –
One metal in an alloy corrodes faster than the other
29
Erosion –
Fluid with ions continuously flows over a surface, as electrons are stolen, and ions become neutral, new ions replace them with flow
30
Stress corrosion –
the combination of the two causes failure quicker
31
Hydrogen embrittlement (not technically corrosion) –
hydrogen ions insert themselves in | the material structure, which weakens it
32
Conductor –
Material that easily conducts electricity
33
Insulator –
Material that resists electric current
34
Electron drift velocity –
How quickly an electron moves through an electric field
35
Band gap –
Range of energy values an electron cannot possess
36
Intrinsic semiconductor –
No intentional impurities, high resistivity
37
Extrinsic semiconductor –
Intentional impurities change the material’s ability to conduct electricity
38
N-type –
Impurities that produce extra electrons
39
P-type –
Impurities that produce extra holes for electrons
40
Capacitance –
Ability to store electric charge across a distance
41
Piezoelectricity –
External force on a ceramic creates electric field
42
Heat capacity –
Ratio of energy added to material to change in temperature
43
Phonon –
A way to describe the wave of atomic displacement due to vibrations
44
Thermal conductivity –
Rate at which heat passes through a distance
45
Thermal expansion –
Volume of a material increases with temperature
46
Thermal stresses/shock –
Expansion due to temperature causes stress on a restrained | material
47
Diamagnetic –
Magnetism that only exists when an external field is applied
48
Ferrimagnetic –
Ceramics that have permanent magnetization
49
Ferromagnetic –
Permanent magnetic moment without external force
50
Magnetic Moment –
Moment that occurs due to motion of electrons
51
Paramagnetic –
Exists due to permanent dipoles
52
Absorption –
Energy from a photon is absorbed by an electron
53
Color –
Wavelength of light emitted from an electron moving to a lower energy state
54
Reflection –
Light is reflected at the surface
55
Refraction –
Transmitted light experiences change in velocity and is bent
56
Transmission –
Light passes through a solid
