    Study Notes

    Corrosion of Metals

    • Metals have a natural tendency to return to their natural state, which can lead to degradation when used in various forms.

    Corrosion Process

    • Corrosion is the process where a solid metallic material is destroyed through an unwanted chemical or electrochemical attack by its environment.

    Types of Corrosion

    • Dry corrosion occurs when the attack of air or oxygen on the metal forms an oxide layer over the surface.

    Rust Formation

    • When iron is exposed to atmospheric conditions, it forms rust (iron oxide).

    Corrosion vs. Extraction

    • The extraction of metals from their ores is considered the opposite of corrosion, as it involves the removal of impurities to obtain pure metal.
