TYPES OF CORROSION
Pitting Corrosion
Crevice Corrosion
Stress Corrosion Cracking
Galvanic Corrosion
Intergranular Corrosion
Uniform Corrosion

CAUSES OF CORROSION

Humidity Condensation of water Oxidation of Metal Stress

CREVICE CORROSION
Crevice Corrosion is a corrosion produced at region of contact of metals with
metals or with non metals

CONCLUSION
Crevice Corrosion Occurs in areas where access is not possible

Very Dangerous Form of localized Corrosion

It occurs between contact point of two surfaces either of same

material or different

Rate of corrosion depends upon different factors like

• Type of material
• Given atmosphere
• Contact point
