  • Metal corrosion means that the properties of metal change through chemical or electrochemical reaction of the metal with materials contained in the ambient environment. Typically, metal corrosion occurs due to the presence of electrolytes such as soil, fresh water or seawater, the presence of cathode-anode potential difference, or the presence of a conductor for connecting a cathode and an anode. Also, metal corrosion is classified into dry corrosion, in the absence of water, and wet corrosion, in the presence of water, and takes place while corrosion current flows from the anode to the cathode due to a partial potential difference depending on the material and environment. In order to prevent the corrosion of the metal substrate, at least one corrosion factor, such as an electrolyte, a potential difference or a conductor, has to be eliminated.
  • metal corrosion cannot be actually completely prevented, the metal is inhibited from corroding in a manner of alleviating the corrosion or by suppressing corrosion to some extent for a predetermined time.
