Corrosion topics include: Causes and effects of corrosion, wet theory corrosion, dry and wet corrosion types, galvanic types, aeration and boiler corrosion, corrosion prevention. Corrosion is a natural process that causes refined metals to gradually deteriorate into a more chemically stable oxide. It occurs when materials react chemically or electrochemically with their environment. Here are some types of corrosion: Pitting: Small holes are created in the surface of the metal. Crevice corrosion: Occurs in stagnant locations, such as under gaskets. Filiform corrosion: Occurs when water...

Corrosion is a natural process that causes refined metals to gradually deteriorate into a more chemically stable oxide. It occurs when materials react chemically or electrochemically with their environment. Here are some types of corrosion: Pitting: Small holes are created in the surface of the metal. Crevice corrosion: Occurs in stagnant locations, such as under gaskets. Filiform corrosion: Occurs when water gets under a coating, such as paint. Intergranular corrosion: Occurs at the grain boundaries of a metal or alloy. It can be caused by impurities present at the grain boundaries, or by the enrichment or depletion of an alloying element at the grain boundaries. Stress corrosion cracking: Occurs when cracks grow due to the simultaneous action of a stress and a reactive environment. Erosion corrosion: A complex process that involves mechanical erosion and chemical degradation of a material. It typically occurs when high fluid flow or abrasive particles are present. Microbial corrosion: Also known as bacterial corrosion, this type of corrosion can apply to both metals and non-metallic materials. It can be caused or promoted by microorganisms, usually chemoautotrophs. Caustic corrosion: Localized corrosion caused by a build-up of caustic or alkaline salts. It is common in evaporative or high-heat-transfer environments. Show less
