    Corrosion involves two electrochemical reactions: oxidation at the anode where metal atoms lose electrons and reduction at the cathode where metal atoms or ions gain electrons. For example, at the anode iron loses electrons to form ferrous ions and at the cathode magnesium ions gain electrons to form magnesium metal.

    Electrochemical Consideration

    •Corrosion involves chemical reactions :


    •Oxidation (Anode)
    •Reduction (Cathode)

    •Anode
    i. Metal atoms lose/ give up their electrons
    ii. Example: Fe  Fe 2+ + 2 ē

    • Cathode
    i. Metal atoms gain/take up the electrons
    ii. Example: Mg 2+ + 2ē  Mg
