performance and long life. If adhesion is marginal, the coating will gradually fail.

Anion - Correct Answer - An ion that has gained one or more electrons, acquiring a negative charge,
causing it to migrate to the anode (positive electrode) in electrolysis.
Cathodic Protection - Correct Answer - Is a technique to reduce the corrosion rate of a metal structure
by making that surface the cathode of an electrochemical cell. This can be be accomplished by forcing a
current to flow onto the structure from an external anode.
Cation - Correct Answer - An ion that has lost one more electrons, acquiring a positive charge, causing it
to migrate to the cathode (negative electrode) in electrolysis.
Coating Defects - Correct Answer - Are faults, imperfections or abnormalities
Coating Failure - Correct Answer - Is when a coating system can no longer effectively perform its
function.
Coherence - Correct Answer - Is the state of being being held together as part of a mass.
