|
Corrosion on the grain boundaries of the metal?
|
Intergranular
|
|
An advanced form of intergranular corrosion where the surface grains of the metal are lifted up by the force of expanding corrosion products occurring at the grain boundaries?

What is a form of crevice corrosion that occurs on metal surfaces having a thin organic protective coating?
|
Filiform

|
|
What is Corrosion?
|
The electrochemical deterioration of a material or its properties due to its chemical reaction with the surrounding environment.
|
|
What is the natural occurring state of corrosion?
|
usually oxide or sulfide ores
|
|
What kind of corrosion products do aluminum and magnesium form?
|
White oxides or hydroxide
|
|
When can corrosion occur in the absence of water? |
High temps. |
|
What is the most common form of corrosion?
|
Electrochemical corrosion
|
|
What is a negatively charged subatomic particle?
|
Electron
|
|
What is an atom or group of atoms or molecules which have acquired a net electric charge by gaining or losing electrons?
|
Ion
|
|
What is an electrolyte?
|
A liquid, usually water, that contain ions.
|
|
What are the four conditions that must exist for corrosion to occur?
|
1. A metal which has a tendency to corrode must be present.
2. A dissimilar conductive material which has less tendency to corrode than the anode must be present. 3. A conductive liquid must connect the anode and cathode. 4. Electrical contact between the anode and cathode must exist so the electrons can move between them. |
