Electrochemical cell The components in an electrochemical cell A cell in which electrons and ions can flow by separate paths between two materials, producing a current which, in turn, leads to corrosion or plating.
Electrochemical corrosion Corrosion produced by the development of a current in an electrochemical cell that removes ions from the material. CORROSION : Degradation of metals and is often called RUST
Car Corrosion Examples
Corrosion of Implants
Portion Of Different Forms Of Corrosion
Uniform Corrosion
Pitting Corrosion
Examples of stress cells Cold work required to bend a steel bar introduces high residual stresses at the bend, which then is anodic and corrodes. Stress Corrosion Cracking
Because grain boundaries have a high energy, they are anodic and corrode.
River Branching Pattern
Intergranular SCC Of An Aluminum Aerospace Part The arrows indicate the primary crack shown in both pictures Changes in alloy heat treatment recommended
Corrosion occurs at the tip of a crevice because of limited access to oxygen. Crevice Corrosion
Erosion Corrosion
In austenitic stainless steel, precipitation of chromium carbide makes the low Cr austenite in the grain boundaries anodic. Intergranular Corrosion
Exfoliation Corrosion
Example of microgalvanic cells in two-phase alloys : In steel, ferrite is anodic to cementite Galvanic Corrosion
Hydrogen Damage Hydrogen Embrittlement of Valve Capscrew Fasteners
Corrosion Fatigue
Corrosion fatigue cracks on the I.D. of a Admiralty brass exchanger tube Corrosion Fatigue Cracks In AISI 1020 Steel In Oil And Gas Downhole Service
Concentration Cell Corrosion Corrosion occurs beneath a water droplet on a steel plate due to low oxygen concentration in the water.
Fretting Corrosion
Dealloying
