Study Notes
Corrosion
- Corrosion occurs on metallic materials through an electrochemical process.
Anodic Reaction
- The anodic reaction is also known as oxidation.
Preventing Corrosion
- Corrosion can be prevented by applying a protective coating, painting, or lubricating the metal surface.
- Other methods include cathodic protection, using corrosion inhibitors, and applying a sacrificial anode.
Aluminum Oxidation
- Aluminum has a higher tendency to oxidize compared to iron.
Crevice Corrosion
- When a non-metallic material forms a crevice on a metallic surface, it is known as crevice corrosion.
- Crevice corrosion can occur due to the buildup of dirt, salt, and other substances that trap moisture.
