SAE Order No. R-152Preface A Glossary of Corrosion-Related Terms Used in Science and Industry was compiled to provide those studying or confronting corrosion with definitions and descriptions of the terms they might utilize or encounter in their work. It is intended to be a desk

6、reference for students, scientists, engineers, and laymen needing ready access to these idioms. The glossary is comprehensive. More than 4000 terms cover scientific and empirical expressions, trade words, and lesser-known jargon unique to various industries and materials subject to corrosion. The gl

7、ossary also includes terms from various engineer- ing disciplines, chemistry, electrochemistry, physics, metallurgy, biology, and earth sciences which are used in discussing corrosion, its processes, appearances, causes, controls, testing, evaluation, and environmental impact. Synonyms, acronyms, an

8、d abbreviations in the corrosion literature are also covered. Proprietary names are restricted to a few in long-term or widespread usage. This glossary began years ago as a personal compilation collected as I came upon them in a wide range of dictionaries, encyclopedias, word lists, books, journal a

9、rticles, trade publications, and in government and industry documents relating to methods, standards and specifications. I undertook the compilation to use in my own industrial research and teaching careers since no such comprehen- sive glossary was then printed. Believing that others might benefit

10、from the collection, I decided sub- sequently to expand the effort and put together this glossary for publication. Except for its fundamen- tal scientific expressions, the definitions and descriptions reflect my best interpretation of a consensus of their published phraseology, specificity, and expa

11、nsiveness so as to be useful to a wide audience. While believed accurate, the terms are not represented as standards or as their only correct pro- nouncement by either me or the publisher. Both SAE and I welcome suggestions for improvement of this work. Mark S. Vukasovich August 1994 iiiA AAabbrevia
