What Does CFC Stand For?
CFC stands for Corrosion Fatigue Cracking
CFC, or Corrosion Fatigue Cracking, refers to the deterioration of materials caused by the combined effects of corrosive environments and cyclic loading. This phenomenon typically occurs in metallic structures and components subjected to repeated stress, leading to the initiation and propagation of cracks. Understanding CFC is crucial for improving material durability, enhancing the lifespan of critical infrastructure, and preventing catastrophic failures in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and marine engineering. Proactive measures against CFC include material selection, protective coatings, and regular inspection practices.
