Crevice Corrosion - Mode of Attack

Mode of Attack

Depending on the environment developed in the crevice and the nature of the metal, the crevice corrosion can take a form of:

  • pitting (i.e., formation of pits),
  • filiform corrosion (this type of crevice corrosion that may occur on a metallic surface underneath an organic coating),
  • intergrannular attack, or
  • stress corrosion cracking.

Famous quotes containing the words mode of, mode and/or attack:

    Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means.
    Paul Deman (1919–1983)

    The mode of clearing and planting is to fell the trees, and burn once what will burn, then cut them up into suitable lengths, roll into heaps, and burn again; then, with a hoe, plant potatoes where you can come at the ground between the stumps and charred logs; for a first crop the ashes suffice for manure, and no hoeing being necessary the first year. In the fall, cut, roll, and burn again, and so on, till the land is cleared; and soon it is ready for grain, and to be laid down.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
