Corrosion
is the
disintegration
of
an
engineered
material into its
constituent atoms
due to chemical
reactions with its
surroundings.

Temperature
Rate of corrosion is accelerated with
increase in temperature and vice versa.
Temperature Corrosion
14
Effect of pH
The main corrosion reaction is spontaneous
under basic conditions, but is accelerated
under acidic conditions. pH Corrosion
15
Effect of Erosion
Erosion may remove protective surface
and corrosion takes place at new surface.
Erosion Corrosion
16
Effect of Impurities
Greater
impurities
causes
greater
imperfection and greater anode & cathode
thus greater corrosion.
Impurities Corrosion
17
Effect of Stress
Stress
corrosion
cracking
caused
by
combined effect of tensile stress and
corrosion environment.
Stress Corrosion
18
Effect of Surface
Roughness increases the rate of corrosion.
Greater the roughness greater would be
corrosion.

Effect of Dissolved
Oxygen
Dissolve oxygen in the electrolyte i.e.
solution in which metal is dipped.

At no point is the
penetration of the metal
by corrosion twice as
great as the average rate.
In natural environment,
Oxygen is the primary
cause of uniform corrosion

The
In
Pitting
corrosion,
or
pitting, is a form of
extremely
localized
corrosion that leads to
the creation of small
holes in the metal.

Erosion
corrosion is
a
degradation of material surface
due to mechanical action,
often by impinging liquid,
abrasion by a slurry, particles

Galvanic corrosion is
an
electrochemical
process in which one
metal
corrodes
preferentially
to
another when both
metals are in electrical
contact and immersed
in an electrolyte.
Another
term
employed is galvanic
coupling.
