Theory of Failure (Corrosion)

Corrosion: A metal ______ process resulted from interaction with its environment.

Which is the correct changes in metal's characteristic due to corrosion?

• Increasing its heat transfer rate

• thickening of metal

• Leak, sudden failure/damage of equipment

• shiny appearance

Below are the corrosion agent to metal, except?

• Water

• Oxygen

• Fire

• Salts

What is the correct pair of important process in corrosion?

• Anode - reduction

• Electrolyte - any solution that contains ion

• Cathode - oxidation

• Reduction - cathode

• Oxidation - cathode

• Reduction - anode

• Oxidation - anode

Choose the correct pair.

• a) Strong oxidizing agents/more cathodic

  b) Strong reducing agents/more anodic

• a) Strong oxidizing agents/more anodic
