| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What type of corrosion directly attacks grain boundaries of aluminum alloys ? | Intergranular corrosion |
| What type of corrosion occurs when there is slight movement between close-fitting metal parts? | Fretting corrosion |
| What type of corrosion most often on bare aluminum alloys? | Surface corrosion |
| What is dissimilar metal corrosion? | When 2 different metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte |
| What is a type of stress corrosion? | Sustained tensile stress causes corrosion |
| What type of corrosion usually occurs over a wide area and is somewhat equal in dispersion? | Surface corrosion |
| What is pitting corrosion? | A localized form of corrosion characterized by the formation of cavities and a white powder on the surface of metal. |
| What is filiform corrosion | A special type of corrosion that forms under thin coatings of paint in the form of randomly distributed threadlike filaments |
| What is galvanic corrosion? | When 2 dissimilar metals are in direct contact in a conducting liquid |
| What is exfoliation corrosion? | An advanced form of filiform corrosion, and it lifts up the grains |
| What is fretting corrosion? | Corrosion that occurs when there is slight movement between 2 metals |
| What is concentration cell corrosion? | When 2 or more areas of a metal surface are in contact with different concentrations of the same solution |
| What is surface corrosion? | An electrochemical reaction that is uniformly over the entire exposed surface and at the edge of metal joints |
| What is concentration corrosion also known as? | Crevice corrosion |
| What is galvanic corrosion also known as? | Dissimilar metal corrosion |
| Metal which depends on a tightly adhering passive film, usually an oxide, for corrosion protection, is prone to rapid corrosive attack by what? | active passive cell corrosion |
