Corrosion Mechanisms
Anusree S. Gangadharan, G. Kausalya Sasikumar, A.S. Shilpa, Rajender Boddula
Corrosion is a complex phenomenon affecting various materials, with significant economic, environmental, and safety implications. This review delves into the underlying principles and mechanisms of various corrosion types, encompassing uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and microbiologically influenced corrosion, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex processes driving corrosion. Environmental factors, material properties, and microorganisms are discussed as contributors to corrosion. Understanding the interactions between materials, environments, and microorganisms is crucial for developing effective corrosion prevention and control strategies, ensuring the reliability and safety of infrastructure, equipment, and materials.
