Corrosion localisée ; Localized corrosion
Corrosion concentrated on discrete sites on the surface of a metal exposed to a corrosive environment.
Corrosion sous contrainte ; Stress corrosion cracking
Stress-assisted corrosion cracking.
Fatigue corrosion; Corrosion fatigue
Process involving the combined action of corrosion and alternating metal deformation, often leading to cracking.
Hydrogen embrittlement; Fragilisation par l'hydrogène
Process leading to a reduction in the toughness or ductility of a metal, due to the absorption of hydrogen.
