Electrochemical corrosion is the decay or decomposition of metal due to its reaction with an electrolytic solution. This type of corrosion takes place when two dissimilar metals come into contact with an electrolytic solution, where one metal becomes the cathode and the other becomes the anode, causing the anodic metal to corrode. Electrochemical corrosion occurs due to the formation of electrochemical cells like galvanic cells or concentration cells.

The decay or Decomposition of metal due to its reaction with
electrolytic solution is called as electrochemical corrosion or wet corrosion. This type of corrosion takes place when 2 dissimilar metals come in contact with electrolytic solution. In such case 1 metal becomes cathode and other becomes anode. The anodic metal gets corroded. Electrochemical corrosion takes place due to formation of several types of electrochemical cells like galvanic cells or concentration cells. Mechanism of electrochemical corrosion-
