Expert Solution

condtions to crevice to grow

1) presence of elctrolyte like NaCl and other incerases the rate of corrosion and crevice will grow

2) differential concentarioan of chemicals like Oxygen and other electrolyte increases rate of crevice corrosion

3)presence air , moisture also increases crevise corrosion

Regarding the fracture mechanism of metals, polymers and ceramics (a) Explain why FCC metals show a ductile fracture even at low temperatures while BCC metals do not. (b) What is crazing? What can you say about the Poisson’s ratio of the crazed material? (c) Generally, in ceramics, intergranular fracture is preferred to cleavage fracture; however, in metals, transgranular fracture is the preferred mechanism for brittle failure. Why?
