Q: Is corrosion a natural process? ¶
A: Yes, and which converts a refined metal to a more chemically-stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide.
Q: Is corrosion often prevented by the use of sacrificial anodes? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion a diffusion-controlled process? ¶
A: Yes, and it occurs on exposed surfaces.
Q: Is corrosion often difficult to detect due to the fact that it is usually relatively small and may be covered and hidden by corrosion-produced compounds? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion influenced by the crevice type? ¶
A: Yes, and crevice geometry , and metallurgical and environmental factors.
Q: Is corrosion chemical deterioration of a material as a result of heating? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion thermodynamically favorable? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion of major interest to the marine industry and also anywhere water contacts pipes or metal structures? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion the weight loss method? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion those for which corrosion is thermodynamically unfavorable? ¶
A: Yes.
Q: Is corrosion a localized form of corrosion occurring in confined spaces? ¶
A: Yes, and to which the access of the working fluid from the environment is limited.
Q: Is corrosion limited to a very narrow zone adjacent to the weld? ¶
A: Yes, and often only a few micrometers across, making it even less noticeable.
