An anti-pitting agent is a substance used when working with electrodeposits. This agent is used in addition to the electroplating solutions and it is meant to prevent the development of pores or pits on the surface of the electrodeposit. Anti-pitting agents are often used in the case of multilayer… View Full Term

Knowing the hardness of materials is extremely useful as it assists in the selection of appropriate materials for specific applications. Prior knowledge of the
Stresses (residual stress or applied stress) acting on a material can play a major role in a unique type of corrosion known as stress corrosion cracking (SCC).
An understanding of how cracks form and propagate enables us to design safer and more reliable structures at a lower cost.
A problem that civil engineers currently face is corrosion of the steel reinforcements commonly found in aging infrastructure. Recent research examines how corrosion affects the shear strength of construction materials such as reinforced concrete.
Calculating and measuring tensile stresses are vital in predicting the behavior of various types of materials. Designers and engineers frequently use tensile parameters to select materials that meet specific the strength and performance parameters.
Understanding the 3 types of tensile strengths help determine how components will perform when...
Materials are made up of a wide variety of atomic structures. However, metals in particular almost always have their atoms organized in a crystalline...
The stress concentration factor (Kt) gives a clear indication of the amount of overstress at a specified location, which is used by engineers to determine the maximum expected stresses and make informed decisions.
For structural components exposed to fatigue conditions, designers must be concerned with both the strength and the toughness. Find out what the difference is between these two measurements.
