Types of Corrosion:
Uniform
Pitting
Crevice
Galvanic (dissimilar materials in an electro-chemical cell)
Erosion Corrosion (flowing corrodent)- Cavitation in corrodent- Fretting (mechanical motion)
Inter granular (including exfoliation)
De alloying (attack of one component in an alloy)
Corrosion Assisted Cracking- Stress Corrosion (tensile stress)- Corrosion Fatigue (cyclic stress)
Hydrogen Damage (embrittlement, blistering, etc.)
Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC)
