Corrosion:
EN ISO 8044 defines corrosion: “Physiochemical interaction between a metal
and its environment that results in changes in the properties of the metal, and
which may lead to significant impairment of the function of the metal, the
environment, or the technical system, of which these form a part.”
Visible substances are formed as a result of corrosion, consisting mainly of
hydrated iron oxides: R U S T.
Rust destroys millions of tons of steel. The most important types of rust and
corrosion are:
- General corrosion is proceeding at almost the same rate over the whole
surface;
- Localized corrosion, where discrete sites of the metal surface are
particularly exposed to corrosion;
- Pitting corrosion, where pinholes erode the metal surface.
