Material Science- Corrosion is one of the processes that affects
the reliability of all engineering components. It is very
complicated process and many factors are affecting it. However,
when it comes to the fundamentals, it is not as complicated as one
think. Basically, corrosion occurs in metals and their alloys
because they are with electrons that are not saturated in bond
states. Because of this, the work function plays a critical role in
determining the corrosion susceptibility of metallic materials....
