Korrózióérzékeny

Korrózióérzékeny is a Hungarian term that translates to "corrosion-sensitive" in English. It describes materials or substances that are particularly susceptible to degradation or damage caused by corrosion. Corrosion is a natural process, often electrochemical, where a material deteriorates due to its reaction with its environment. When a material is described as korrózióérzékeny, it signifies that it will undergo this deterioration more readily or rapidly than other materials under similar conditions.

This sensitivity can manifest in various ways, such as rusting of metals, pitting, intergranular corrosion, or stress corrosion cracking. Factors influencing corrosion sensitivity include the material's inherent chemical composition, its surface condition, the presence of impurities, and the specific environmental factors it is exposed to. These environmental factors can include moisture, oxygen, acids, bases, salts, and elevated temperatures.

Materials that are highly korrózióérzékeny often require specialized protective measures. This can involve coatings, passivation treatments, or selecting alternative, more corrosion-resistant materials for critical applications. Understanding the corrosion sensitivity of a material is crucial in engineering and material science to ensure the longevity, safety, and reliability of structures, components, and products. For example, certain alloys used in marine environments or in contact with aggressive chemicals would be considered highly korrózióérzékeny if not adequately protected.
