What Does EAC Stand For?
EAC stands for Environmental Assisted Cracking
Environmental Assisted Cracking (EAC) refers to the degradation process in which materials, particularly metals, experience fracture due to the combined effects of environmental factors, such as moisture, temperature, and corrosive substances, alongside mechanical stress. This phenomenon often occurs in specific conditions where the material's resistance is compromised, leading to reduced durability and structural integrity. Understanding EAC is crucial for engineers and material scientists in order to enhance the longevity and safety of components used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction.
