1. Introduction to steel corrosion
1.1 Definition
According to ISO 8044:2020, corrosion is a physico-chemical interaction between a metallic material and its surrounding environment, resulting in changes in the properties of the metal and potentially leading to significant degradation of the function of the metal, the surrounding environment or the technical system of which they are part.
Metal corrosion is a natural phenomenon that occurs spontaneously as soon as the material comes into contact with an aggressive environment. This can be as simple as a moisture-laden atmosphere. In its presence, the surface of the steel tends to be destroyed and covered with rust. It's also worth noting that corrosion only leads to the original state of the metal,...
