The positive direction of electrode potential, thus resembling noble metals such as gold and platinum.

The maximum load that a device is capable of carrying.

Corrosion that occurs under some coatings in the form of randomly distributed threadlike filaments.

A curve that indicates the number of hours per year that specific wind speeds occur.

A type of pressure-plate anemometer in which the plate, restrained by a stiff spring, is held perpendicular to the wind. The wind-activated motion of the plate is measured electrically. The natural frequency of this system can be made high enough so that ...

The relative ability of a ferrous alloy to form martensite when quenched from a temperature above the upper critical temperature. Hardenability is commonly measured as the distance below a quenched surfsce at which the metal exhibits a specific hardness ( ...

The traded value of an asset agreed by seller and.
