How to use "Corrode" in context?
corrosion is a natural process in which a metal happens to dissolve in an environment that has a higher concentration of chemicals than the metal. corrosion currently accounts for more than 25% of the world's total environmental degradation. corrosion is caused by the interaction of the environment with the metal. there are three main types of corrosion: electrochemical corrosion, abrasion corrosion, and galvanic corrosion. electrochemical corrosion happens when an electrical current passes through the metal. abrasion corrosion happens when the metal is rubbed against something else, like a rock. galvanic corrosion happens when two dissimilar metals come into contact with each other.
