CORROSION
CORROSION
Corrosion is a typical occurrence in our daily
lives. You’ve probably seen that some iron things
have an orange or reddish-brown coloured coating
on top of them at some point. This layer forms as
a result of rusting, a kind of corrosion.

It is generally formation of
compound on the surface of
metals. In the presence of water
And Air
Corrosion Of Iron Is known as Rusting

•When iron is left exposed to moist air, it undergoes a

chemical change leading to the formation of a brown
powdered mass on the iron, leading to the occurrence of a
phenomenon known as rusting.

•Rusting Takes place only in moist air when there is intimate

contact between water, oxygen, and iron.

•The process of rusting can be represented by the following

METAL

Corrosion slowly coats the surfaces of

metallic objects with oxides or other salts
of the metal. The rusting of iron, tarnishing
of silver, development of green coating on
