Definition
The term corrosion is defined as destruction or deterioration of metals when they are in contact with an aggressive medium.
Introduction
Rusting of metals not only disturbs the profit of industries but also affects the national economy. Corrosion is mainly induced by chemical and electrochemical processes. The problems related to corrosion are present in all domains of the national economy. The fiscal consequences of corrosion affect technology development, as the materials are required to withstand highly corrosive environments. Millions of dollars are lost each year because of metal corrosion. Besides enormous work on corrosion control, there is a need to put forth some qualitative or quantitative proceedings, appropriate for laboratory as well as for industrial conditions. Numerous types of corrosion are possible based on the...
