Questions and Answers

What causes concentration differences leading to rapid corrosion in crevice corrosion?

  • High oxygen levels outside the crevice
  • Excessive heat in the crevice
  • Presence of solid particles in the crevice
  • Solution stagnation in the crevices (correct)

Apart from passive metals, where else can crevice corrosion occur?

  • In non-metallic materials (correct)
  • In alloys with high corrosion resistance
  • Active metals
  • Only in highly acidic environments

What is recommended to be chosen to prevent crevice corrosion?

  • Corrosive solutions
  • Materials that promote sharp corners
  • Absorptive materials
