Eight forms of corrosion

1. Uniform/general
2. Crevice/deposit Corrosion.
3. Pitting.
4. Galvanic or two metal.
5. Stress-corrosion cracking (SCC). Localized

6. Intergranular attack.
7. Selective leaching (e.g., dezincification)
8. Erosion.

Reasons For Corrosion

 impurities in the metal,
 localized stresses,
 metal grain size or composition differences,
 discontinuities on the surface,
 differences in the local environment (e.g., temperature, oxygen, or
salt concentration)

(e.g., dezincification Condition: Low pH conditions (PH<6.0) and high free chlorine
residuals (>1.0 ppm) sol: Add Tn, Ar, An, P in brass).
