What does accelerated testing mean?
Accelerated testing is a form of testing materials in a compressed time frame. Two or more materials can be tested at the same time and in the same environment. • What is meant by general corrosion? General corrosion is characterized by uniform metal loss of a metal. No one area is any more corroded than another. • What causes the corrosion on copper to steel pipe under my sink? Due to the electrical potential difference of these two metals as shown on the electromotive force series, the steel will become the anode and will sacrifice itself to protect the copper. • Why are dust particles so corrosive? Dust particles are not corrosive in themselves unless they are from corrosive environments. Dust particles have the tendency to hold moisture and create a concentration cell at their location. • Does rust prevent a pipe from corroding any further? Rust is a thermodynamically, unstable material and therefore does not offer any protection from corrosion. • My stainless steel tank has rust s
