CORROSION THEORY:
Uncontrolled corrosion in DOE facilities could cause several serious problems. Corrosion occurs continuously, and each metal within each facility is subject to a few category of corrosion. Even by corrosion cannot be eliminated, it could be controlled.
DEFINE the following terms:
a. Ionization
b. Conductivity
c. Corrosion
d. Electrolysis
e. General corrosion
DESCRIBE an electrochemical cell along with respect to the corrosion of metals.
STATE what happens to a metal in during the oxidation step of the oxidation-reduction procedure.
STATE what happens to a metal during the reduction step of the oxidation-reduction process.
DEFINE the following terms:
a. Passivity
b. Polarization
DESCRIBE the affects of passivity and polarization at the corrosion process.
