| Abstract: | Corrosion is the destructive result of chemical reaction between a metal or
metal alloy and its environment. Metal atoms in nature are present as
chemical compounds. The same amounts of energy needed to extract metals from their minerals are emitted
during chemical reactions that produce corrosion. Corrosion returns
the metals to its combined state in chemical compounds that are similar or even identical to the minerals from which the metals were extracted. Thus, corrosion has been called 'extractive metallurgy in reverse'. |
