CORROSION
Crevice Corrosion
- a localized corrosion situated in existing crevices like scratches, etc.
Pitting Corrosion
- extreme case of localized corrosion attack which results in creation of cavities or pits on the substance.
Fretting Corrosion
- accelerated form of corrosion where two surfaces contact each other under motion; as in heavy machinery, hinges, etc
Erosion Corrosion
- accelerated form of corrosion when corrosive fluids run across metal surface. Common in fertilizer and in chemical storage units.
Cavitation Corrosion
- corrosion created when metal collapses and results in breaking of protective surface membrane on metal.
Stress Corrosion
- combination of tensile stress & corrosion erosion
Intergranular Corrosion
- corrosion occurring at joints and/or grain boundaries on the metal as seen in case of Stainless steel.
Microbiological Corrosion
- deterioration caused directly by bacteria, fungi, algae, mold, or fungus. Common in clay-type soils.
High-temperature Corrosion
- occurs where metals are in contact with flames as in furnaces, flue, chimney, exhaust pipe, etc.
