Uniform corrosion
Uniform or general corrosion is the
most classical form of corrosion, but it is not always the
most important in terms of costs or safety. It is characterized
by the existence of several individual electrochemical processes
that occur uniformly over the whole of the surfaces considered.
The consequences of uniform corrosion are a decrease in metal
thickness per unit time if the corrosion products are soluble,
or a more or less uniform deposit of these products if they
are insoluble.
