Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of material by reaction to
its environment.
Corrosion occurs because of the natural tendency for most metals to
return to their natural state; e.g., iron in the presence of moist air will
revert to its natural state, iron oxide.
4 required components in an electrochemical corrosion cell:
1) An anode; 2) A cathode; 3) A conducting environment for ionic
movement (electrolyte); 4) An electrical connection between the anode and
cathode for the flow of electron current.
If any of the above components is missing or disabled, the
electrochemical corrosion process will be stopped.

Galvanic or Two-metal
Pitting
Environment-assisted cracking
Intergranular
Crevice
Velocity-assisted

This one is common in steel that is unprotected by
any surface coating. Most noticeable. Surface effect,
leaving rust on the surface.
The good thing about this, if there is one, is that the
corrosion is widely spread around.

Corrosion over the entire
exposed surface at a
uniform rate. e.g..
Atmospheric corrosion.
Maximum metal loss by
this form.
Not dangerous, rate can
be measured in the
laboratory.

Possibility when two dissimilar metals are electrically connected in an electrolyte
Results from a difference in oxidation potentials of metallic ions between two or more metals. The greater the difference in oxidation potential, the greater the galvanic corrosion.
Refer to Galvanic Series
The less noble metal will corrode (i.e. will act as the anode) and the more noble metal will not corrode (acts as cathode).
Perhaps the best known of all corrosion types is galvanic corrosion, which occurs at the contact point of two metals or alloys with different electrode potentials.
![Page 10: Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of material ...me.emu.edu.tr/behzad/meng286/CORROSION.pdf · movement (electrolyte); 4) An electrical connection between the anode and](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020104/5b58b19e7f8b9a6c4f8c629e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When two dissimilar metals are joined together and exposed, the more active of the two metals corrode faster and the nobler metal is protected. This excess corrosion is due to the galvanic current generated at the junction

It is based on low oxygen concentration at the bottom of the pit.
This is very common in materials that protect themselves with a passive layer, i.e. stainless steel and aluminum.
Highly localized. Goes
deep into the metal.
Chloride ions find their way
into the pits, intensifies the
situation.

Pitting
Pitting is a localized form of corrosive
attack. Pitting corrosion is typified by the
formation of holes or pits on the metal
surface. Pitting can cause failure, yet the
total corrosion, as measured by weight loss,
may be minimal.

When a metal is subjected to a tensile stress
and a corrosive medium, it may experience
Environment Assisted Cracking. Four types:
Stress Corrosion Cracking(SCC)
Hydrogen Embrittlement
Liquid Metal Embrittlement
Corrosion Fatigue

Static tensile stress and
specific environments
produce cracking
Examples:
1) Stainless steels in hot
chloride
2) Ti alloys in nitrogen
tetroxide
3) Brass in ammonia
![Page 20: Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of material ...me.emu.edu.tr/behzad/meng286/CORROSION.pdf · movement (electrolyte); 4) An electrical connection between the anode and](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020104/5b58b19e7f8b9a6c4f8c629e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ingredients:
(1) tensile stress in the metal
(2) corrosive (electrolyte) environment.
Accelerators: presence of Chloride ion and high
temp.
Victims: Stainless steel is unsafe in water above
50C and over a few ppm of chloride, if any
tension exists. Others: mild steel in alkaline
environment, copper alloys in ammonia env.
The anode is the stresses region.
![Page 21: Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of material ...me.emu.edu.tr/behzad/meng286/CORROSION.pdf · movement (electrolyte); 4) An electrical connection between the anode and](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020104/5b58b19e7f8b9a6c4f8c629e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This is not exactly galvanic corrosion, but it definitely is a form of
environmental attack.
Hydrogen atoms diffuse into the metal from outside. Deep in the metal,
they combine to form H2 gas or combine with C, if present , to form CH4.
The pressure in this internal pockets of gas is enough to initiate cracking.
The metal is already seeing a lot of tensile stress.
Normally ductile high strength metals, particularly steels, are not so
ductile anymore because of these internal cracks.
![Page 22: Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of material ...me.emu.edu.tr/behzad/meng286/CORROSION.pdf · movement (electrolyte); 4) An electrical connection between the anode and](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020104/5b58b19e7f8b9a6c4f8c629e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High strength materials
stressed in presence of
hydrogen crack at
reduced stress levels.
Hydrogen may be
dissolved in the metal or
present as a gas outside.
Only ppm levels of H
needed

This is a segue from the previous. It is closely related.
Again, stainless steel is the ideal victim here. The
problem is triggered by improper heating, and often
this comes with welding. Carbides of chromium form
in the grain boundary regions.
The chromium is tied up in the carbides. It can’t
protect by forming the passive layer.
PLUS, there is a dissimilarity in metals producing a
small but definite galvanic corrosion.

This is caused by the impingement of a high velocity turbulent flow on a surface.
The flow is often multi-phase. This means there can be entrained solid particles, or even gas bubbles, as in cavitation of a propeller.
The flow will carry away any protective layer that was intended to protect the material, and even abrade the flow surface.

When one element in an alloy is anodic to the
other element.
Example: Removal of zinc from brass (called
dezincification) leaves spongy, weak brass.

Galvanization of Steel
Dip steel sheet in molten zinc. Get a pretty thin coating.
Zinc will be anode. Steel exposed by crack is the cathode. Since we have a huge anode having to be served by a small cathode, corrosion rate will be slow. Tiny cathode (steel)
Large area

object to be protected, we make it less anodic and protect it from
corrosion damage.
