Different Types of Metal Corrosion
1. Electrochemical induced by Chlorides, Oxygen and powered by the electrochemical cell 2. Induced by Low pH: H+ ions attack the metal and liberate Hygrogen 3. Microbial Induced Corrosion: SRB´s and IRB´s 4. Bimetallic Galvanic Corrosion 5. Chelant induced corrosion 6. Ammonia-accelerated corrosion in Copper systems 7. CO2 attack in condensate systems 8. Caustic corrosion of ferrous systems at High pH 9. Erosion corrosion 10. Dezincification: selective corrosion of Zinc in alloys 11. Graphitic Corrosion: Cast iron losing iron in salt water or acids. 12. Pitting Corrosion
