Description
Metal corrosion that occurs due to electron transfer between two substances of different electromotive activity. Electrochemical corrosion results in the dissolution of metal to form soluble ions at one node and the deposition of insoluble compounds, such as carbonates at the other. An electrolyte solution must be present for the system to be active. Thus, most electrochemical corrosion occurs in buried or marine metals.
