B) Electrochemical corrosion-

The decay or Decomposition of metal due to its reaction with

electrolytic solution is called as electrochemical corrosion or wet
corrosion.
This type of corrosion takes place when 2 dissimilar metals come
in contact with electrolytic solution. In such case 1 metal becomes
cathode and other becomes anode. The anodic metal gets corroded.
Electrochemical corrosion takes place due to formation of several
types of electrochemical cells like galvanic cells or concentration
cells.
Mechanism of electrochemical corrosion-

The mechanism of electrochemical corrosion can be studied

using 2 conditions as mentioned below-
