INTRODUCTION
Metal corrosion is the most common
form of corrosion. The corrosion occurs
at the surface of the metal in forms of
chemical or electrochemical reactions.
This process significantly reduces the
strength, plasticity, toughness and other
mechanical properties of the metallic
material. However, because of the metal
and its alloys is still the most important
pipe and structure materials, the cost of
corrosion grows significantly with the
growth of industries. Thus many
scientists focus on the research of
corrosion control in order to reduce the
cost of replacing the rusting metal
material. Nowadays, there are mainly

of a metal which becomes the corroding
area is called the anode ; that which
acts as the other electrode of the
battery is called cathode which does
not corrode, but is an important part of
the system. In the corrosion systems

1) At first we have to clean the
surface of iron nails with the
help of sand paper.
2) After that we have to wind zinc
