EARLY ACTION (EA) I AND II. In this non-binding application program, a student usually applies EA I on or before the first of November (sometimes Nov. 15) and receives an admission decision by the middle of December.
Among the metals affected by this type of corrosion are stainless steel, certain magnesium alloys, and the copper-bearing aluminum alloys. Intergranular corrosion occurs in certain grades of stainless steel when the steel is heated, as in welding. Brittleness results, causing the metal to crack near the weld. For this reason, a post-weld heat treatment is needed before reinstalling stainless steel parts that have been welded.
Depending on the environment developed in the crevice and the nature of the metal, the crevice corrosion can take a form of: pitting (i.e., formation of pits), filiform corrosion (this type of crevice corrosion that may occur on a metallic surface underneath an organic coating), intergrannular attack, or; stress corrosion cracking.
