This form of corrosion is
often caused by impurities
in the metal, leading to
chemical or
electrochemical attack on
the grain boundaries.

materials are electrically
connected and placed in a
conductive solution (electrolyte),
an electric potential exists.

and the atmosphere

A

Atmospheric corrosion

33
Q

is negligible in climates where the air temperature
