Description
The electrochemical degradation of a material due to reactions with its environment or applied reagents. Corrosion may affect the color, texture, or form of the object. Corrosion is accelerated by the presence of acids, bases, and halogen salts. Contact of two metals of differing electrochemical potentials can result in Galvanic corrosion. Copper, Nickel, Chromium, and Zinc are some of the more corrosion resistant metals and are often used as protective coatings for other metals.
Examples are corrosion are:
- Iron reacts with water and oxygen to form rust.
- Aluminum quickly oxidizes to form a protective oxide layer.
- Glass dissolves in alkaline solutions.
- Concrete is softened by sulfate solutions.
- Copper produces a stable patina in moist air.
Some materials that can be used to minimize corrosion include:
- Vapor phase corrosion inhibitor: provides a corrosion resistant layer on the surface
- Scavenger: removes pollutants and/or moisture and oxygen from the air
- Desiccant: removes moisture from the air
Synonyms and Related Terms
patina; oxidation; corrosive material;
