Deutsch: Interkristalline Korrosion / Español: Corrosión intergranular / Português: Corrosão intergranular / Français: Corrosion intergranulaire / Italiano: Corrosione intergranulare
Intergranular corrosion is a localized form of degradation that occurs along the grain boundaries of metallic materials, leading to a loss of mechanical integrity without visible surface deterioration. This phenomenon is particularly critical in quality management due to its potential to cause sudden structural failures in components exposed to corrosive environments, even when the bulk material appears unaffected.
