Uniform Corrosion& Corrosion Products
• Anode reactionFe Fe +2 + 2 e-
• Cathode ReactionO2 + 2 H2O + 4e- 4OH-
• Solubility Product– Fe(OH)2 Fe+2 + 2OH-– Ksp = [Fe+2] [OH]2 = some constant (T)
• Corrosion Product = RustRust = Fe(OH)2 etc.– Rust is much more complicated chemically!

CORROSION OF ZINC IN ACID• Two reactions are necessary:
-- oxidation reaction:-- reduction reaction:
Zn → Zn2+ + 2e −
2H+ + 2e − →H2 (gas )
• Other reduction reactions:-- in an acid solution -- in a neutral or base solution
O2 + 4H+ + 4 e − → 2H2O O2 + 2H2O + 4 e − → 4(OH)−

Crevice Corrosion
• Regions of restricted flow– Beneath bolt heads– Overlapping joints– Rivets
• Leads to pitting

Intergranular Corrosion
• Attack at or near grain boundaries• Typically associated with welding or heat
treating problems

Corrosion protection
• Galvanic couples– Galvanized steel– Tin Cans?
• Impressed current• Paint• Vapor Phase Inhibitors
![Page 22: Corrosion Engineering](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050722/547f714fb379596f2b8b57e5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• Self-protecting metals!--Metal ions combine with Oto form a thin, adhering oxide layer that slows corrosion.
Metal (e.g., Al, stainless steel)
Metal oxideCONTROLLING CORROSION
• Reduce T (slows kinetics of oxidation and reduction)
10
• Add inhibitors--Slow oxidation/reduction reactions by removing reactants
(e.g., remove O2 gas by reacting it w/an inhibitor).--Slow oxidation reaction by attaching species to
the surface (e.g., paint it!).• Cathodic (or sacrificial) protection
--Attach a more anodic material to the one to be protected.

• Corrosion occurs due to:--the natural tendency of metals to give up electrons.--electrons are given up by an oxidation reaction.--these electrons then are part of a reduction reaction.
• Metals with a more negative Standard ElectrodePotential are more likely to corrode relative toother metals.
• The Galvanic Series ranks the reactivity of metals inseawater.
• Increasing T speeds up oxidation/reduction reactions.• Corrosion may be controlled by:
-- using metals which forma protective oxide layer
-- reducing T
-- adding inhibitors-- painting--using cathodic protection.
