Basic corrosion theory

Metallic materials are used everywhere in today's society. Thanks to their high strength combined with good shape and weldability and the fact that they can be recycled infinitely make them excellent as a construction material. However, it is important to take into account how the metals are affected by the environment in which they are used, to choose the appropriate material and corrosion protection.
