Corrosion is a natural process that can deteriorate metal structures and cause costly damage for your business.
For corrosion to occur, four elements must be present: a host site from which current flows, a destination site where no current flows, a medium capable of conducting current (such as water, concrete, or soil), and a metal path between the host and destination site.
Electrochemical corrosion of metals is the process by which ions on the surface of a metal are transferred to another substance (a depolarizer, or less active substance or metal). Such depolarizers are oxygen, acids, or cations of more passive metals.
