FORMS OF CORROSION
The classification of the different forms of
corrosion is based on:
Nature of the Corrodents (Wet or dry). Dry: high-temp.
gases

Group Work
Problem-based learning
Presentation skills development
Each group will take a corrosion type assigned to it and explain to the class.
Assessment will be based on both group and individual performances.
Each group will have 12 mins in all both for presentation and questions
All the presentations shall be taken one day.
All members of a group shall take turns in the presentation and shall be
graded accordingly.
Each group will submit a hard copy of document to meand soft copies in
word to turnitin and to me. All presentation slides shall also be submitted.
Check the Moodle later today or latest by tomorrow for the different
groupings, time of presentation and submission and submission deadline.

The impurities form a galvanic cell with the metal given the right environment.
The smaller the grains size of the metal or alloy, the greater the solubility.
Orientation of the crystal also affects corrosion rates.
If the corrosion product is soluble, corrosion of the metal will proceed faster.

[B] Temperature
Rate of chemical reactions in general and temperature.
[C] Effect of PH
The hydrogen ion concentration of the medium is another important
factor in corrosion reactions as well as corrosion control. Acidic media are
generally more corrosive than alkaline and neutral media.
