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:

    Young children learn in a different manner from that of older children and adults, yet we can teach them many things if we adapt our materials and mode of instruction to their level of ability. But we miseducate young children when we assume that their learning abilities are comparable to those of older children and that they can be taught with materials and with the same instructional procedures appropriate to school-age children.
    David Elkind (20th century)

    The character of the logger’s admiration is betrayed by his very mode of expressing it.... He admires the log, the carcass or corpse, more than the tree.... What right have you to celebrate the virtues of the man you murdered?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns.
    Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
