    Corrosion is an electrochemical process where a metal combines with oxygen, typically forming iron oxide (rust). It involves an anode that releases electrons, a cathode that accepts electrons, and an electrolyte that transports the electrons. At the anode, the metal oxidizes and disintegrates as cations form. Electrons flow through the electrolyte to the cathode. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals contact an electrolyte, causing one metal to preferentially corrode as the anode. Cathodic protection and protective coatings can help prevent corrosion.

    CORROSION

    Introduction
    Rust is the common name for a very common compound, iron oxide(Fe2O3) iron combines very readily with oxygen pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion an electrochemical process involving an anode (a piece of metal that readily gives up electrons),

    an electrolyte (a liquid that helps electrons move) and a cathode (a piece of metal that readily accepts electrons). When a piece of metal corrodes, the electrolyte helps provide oxygen to the anode. As oxygen combines with the metal, electrons are liberated. When they flow through the electrolyte to the cathode, the metal of the anode disappears, swept away by the electrical flow or converted into metal cations in a form such as rust.

    A chemical action which cause gradual destruction of a surface of a metal by oxidation, electrolysis, or chemical contamination

    Corrosion Process

    Corrosion Process
    an anode and a cathode must be present. different types of metals or simply different regions on the same metal. electrolyte that can allow the transport of electrons must also be present. Corrosion involves the release of electrons at the anode due to the high oxidation potential of the atoms at the anode. As the electrons are released, metal cations are formed and the metal disintegrates. the cathode, which has a greater reduction potential, accepts the electrons by either forming negative ions or neutralizing positive ions.

    Corrosion Process
    Anode: electrode at which electrons are released during corrosion. The half reaction at the anode is called oxidation and the metal is said to be oxidized. Cathode: electrode which accepts electrons during corrosion. The half reaction at the cathode is called reduction and the metal is said to be reduced. The cathode is not destroyed during corrosion. Cation : the ion in an electrolyzed solution that migrates to the cathodes. (A positively charge ion)

    What is Galvanic Corrosion?


    Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are connected electrically and are in contact with an electrolyte solution. One of the two metals is corroded preferentially; this metal is the anode and the unattacked metal is the cathode in the galvanic couple.
