Examples of corrosion in the following topics:
-
- Corrosion is commonly discussed in reference to metals, which corrode electrochemically.
- In a corrosion system, the metal being corroded acts as the anode of a short-circuited electrochemical cell:
- How susceptible a particular metal is to corrosion can be determined by its reduction potential.
- Corrosion is a common nuisance with real impact.
- This photo of the Nandu River Iron Bridge in Hainan, China displays evidence of damage by corrosion.
-
- Preventing corrosion reduces both the economic and safety-related damages associated with the process.
- It follows, then, that we can prevent corrosion by removing one of these essential conditions.
- Corrosion of the sacrificial zinc results in its oxidation; the iron is reduced, which renders it cathodic and inhibits its corrosion.
- As long as the tin coating remains intact, corrosion is not possible.
- Anodization is another surface treatment that protects against corrosion.
-
- Titanium, chromium and manganese are 3d transition metals notably used to add corrosion-resistance, durability, and lightness to steel.
- It has a low density, is corrosion-resistant, and has a silver color.
- Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration.
- Manganese phosphating is used as a treatment for rust and corrosion on steel.
- Titanium is one of the least dense, strong, and corrosion-resistant elements.
-
- For example, aluminum foil develops a thin skin of Al2O3 (called a passivation layer) that protects the foil from further corrosion.
- Two independent pathways for corrosion of elements are hydrolysis and oxidation by oxygen.
- The combination of water and oxygen is even more corrosive.
- As mentioned above, a well-known example is aluminum foil, which is coated with a thin film of aluminium oxide that passivates the metal, slowing further corrosion.
-
- In contrast to the oxidation of iron by wet air, this oxide layer stops further corrosion.
- In contrast to the oxidation of iron by wet air, this oxide layer stops the further, bulk corrosion.
-
- Aluminum is resistant to corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation.
-
- It is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses.
-
- Their comparative rarity and attractiveness, along with their resistance to corrosion, make them compact stores of wealth.
-
- It is a corrosive and highly toxic gas.
-
- Since boron trifluoride is corrosive, the metals suitable for handling boron trifluoride include stainless steel, monel, and hastelloy.
