Corrosion is a process that occurs naturally. It is a process where materials are gradually broken down to the point where they return to their natural state. During corrosion, metals are steadily converted from refined materials into chemically stable oxides. Corrosion occurs when metals are exposed to electrolytes present in air or water. Although corrosion is natural, it can lead …
