Corrosion

Introduction

Corrosion is the transformation of a metal or metal alloy by its reaction with chemical or electrochemical means in a particular exposure process that results in the formation of corrosion products and the release of energy.

Types of Corrosion

Uniform Surface Corrosion

Uniform Surface Corrosion is formed by the reaction of surface of metal with the impurities of atmosphere.

Galvanic Corrosion

The corrosion in metals due to the electrochemical process is known as galvanic corrosion. It occurs as a result of the different potentials on the surface of the object corrosion, which is located in an electrolyte.

Intergranular Corrosion

The intergranular corrosion is a form of ...
