Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng | | German term or phrase: Sauerstoffeinfangfläche | "[Bei nichtrostenden Stählen] wird der Anodenverbrauch allein durch die Vergrößerung der Sauerstoffeinfangfläche der Anode durch die Filterinnenteile bestimmt."
I am translating a text on cathodic protection and anode durability. Does "Sauerstoffeinfangfläche" translate as "oxygen capture surface" or is there a specific term for this word? |

| | English translation:oxygen capture area | Explanation:
I believe this refer's to Akimov's "Capture Area Principle" -- as cited in Grubitsch, H. (1966), Über das Prinzip der Einfangfläche bei Sauerstoffkorrosion in Elektrolytlösungen. Materials and Corrosion, 17: 679–685. doi: 10.1002/maco.19660170809
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/maco.19660170809/...
The English abstract for Grubitsch's article uses the term "Capture Area Principle". The term "area" refers specifically to surface area.
Grubitsch cites several articles by Akimov, including G. W. Akimov, G. A. Wruzewitscb und H. B. Clark: Korrosion u. Metallschutz 11 (1935) 145.
I would avoid using terms like "absorbing" or "adsorbing", unless you know for sure that precisely that physical process occurs. Otherwise you could be misleading the reader.
The phrase "oxygen capture area" occurs rarely in Google search results, but it does occur in at least one context which sounds like your source text:
W. Paatsch, Corrosion protection by plating techniques, Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 69, Issue 2, March 1985, Pages 319-325, ISSN 0025-5416, 10.1016/0025-5416(85)90330-1.

The example sentence for this answer comes from Paatsch's article. |

The example sentence for this answer comes from Paatsch's article.
Example sentence(s):- Because most of these materials are highly corrosion-resistant insulators, the pores and cracks in the coating are of minor interest, particularly in neutral solutions, as the surface layer does not act as an oxygen capture area.
