|
|
Term
The earlier a metal appears, the more easily it gives up electrons, and is referred to an anodic metal |

Term
T or F: Cathodic metals give up electrons easily |
|
Definition
False Cathodic metals do not corrode as easily as anodic metals, therefore they do not give up electrons as easily |

Term
The 4 requirements for corrosion |
|
Definition
1) presence of a metal that will corrode 2) presence of a dissimilar conductive material (cathode) which has less tendency to corrode 3) presence of a conductive liquid (electrolyte) 4) electrical contact between the anode and cathode (usually metal to metal contact, or a fastener) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
Commonly referred to as dry corrosion |
|
Definition
Oxidation corrosion When a metal is exposed to a gas containing oxygen, a chemical reaction takes place on the surface between the metal and the gas |
|
|
Term
Film is unbroken, and once it has formed, further reaction with oxygen slows dramatically |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Forms a porous, interrupted film, which allows the metal to continue to react with oxygen until the metal is completely eaten away |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Best way to protect from oxidation... |
|
Definition
Keep oxygen away from the surface Temporary= apply a covering to the surface with oil or grease Permanent= painting surface |
|
|
Term
Aluminum alloy can be protected from oxidation by the formation of an oxide film on the surface. This film insulates the aluminum from any electrolyte, and prevents further reaction with oxygen |
|
Definition
Cladding (Aclad) aluminum |
|
|
Term
When an area of unprotected metal is exposed to an atmosphere containing battery fumes, exhaust gasses, or industrial contaminants, a uniform attack over the entire surface occurs. |
|
Definition
Uniform surface corrosion |
|
|
Term
Appearance of uniform surface corrosion |
|
Definition
Dulling of the surface is caused by microscopic amounts of the metal being converted into corrosion salts. Sometimes spreads under the surface, and cannot be detected, but the paint over the surface starts to blister |
|
|
Term
Likely a result of uniform surface corrosion that has been left untreated. Usually detected by the appearance of clumps of white powder on the surface |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Occurs any time two dissimilar metals make electrical contact in the presence of an electrolyte. |
|
Definition
Galvanic corrosion (Two dissimilar metals skins are riveted together Aluminum inspection plates are held on with steel screws.) |
|
|
Term
Sometimes referred to as crevice corrosion Is corrosion of metals in a metal to metal joint, corrosion at the edge of a joint, even though the metals are identical, or corrosion of a spot on a metals surface covered by a foreign material |
|
Definition
Concentration cell corrosion |
|
|
Term
Forms when water covers the surface of the aluminum aircraft skin and seeds into the cracks between lap joints. This type of corrosion attacks the areas where there is no oxygen, under the bolt heads, loose fittings, marking tape |
|
Definition
Oxygen concentration cell corosion |
|
|
Term
Forms due to the electrode potential within a metal. |
|
Definition
Metal ion concentration cell corrosion |
|
|
Term
Usually attacks metals which depend on a tightly bonded passive film, such as an oxide or corrosion protection. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
A form of oxygen concentration cell corrosion which occurs on metal surfaces having an organic coating system. Appears as puffiness under the paint film and his first noticed around rivet head and a long lap joints. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Corrosion which attacks along the grain boundaries of a material |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
An extreme case of intergranular corrosion. Occurs along grain boundaries and causes the material to separate, or delaminate |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
Occurs when a metal is subjected to a tensile stress in the presence of a corrosive environment. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
When two surfaces fit tightly together, but can move relative to one another. |
