Introduction
The definitions in this document strike an appropriate balance between precision and brevity. The main purpose of this document is to provide information that can be used by all interested parties
understood as definitions with the same meaning. Some of the corrosive terms in use today are conventional, but not always logical.
Therefore, it is not possible to define certain terms in the form used in certain countries. Because of the occasional conflict between tradition and logic, some fixed
Righteousness inevitably compromised.
For example, the term "corrosion" is used to refer to the process, the result of the process and the damage caused by the process. In this document, corrosion is understood as excessive
Procedure. Any detectable result of corrosion in any part of a corrosion system is referred to as a "corrosion effect". The term "corrosion damage" covers damage as
Any damage to the function of the system composed of metal and the environment. Therefore, the term "corrosion protection" means that it is important to avoid corrosion damage without
is to prevent corrosion. Because preventing corrosion is impossible in many cases, and sometimes unnecessary.
Corrosion Terms for Metals and Alloys
1 Scope
This document defines corrosion-related terms widely used in modern science and technology. In addition, for some definitions also given
concise notes.
Note 1.The electrode potentials in this document apply to IUPAC (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Chemistry) rules. The term "metal" also includes alloys and other gold
material.
Note 2.Terms and definitions related to inorganic surface treatment of metals are given in GB/T 3138.
2 Normative references

3 General terms for corrosion
3.1
corrosion
Changes in the properties of metals and may often lead to impairment of the functionality of metals, the environment or the technical systems of which they are a part
Physico-chemical interactions between the damaged metal and the environment.
NOTE. This interaction is usually electrochemical in nature.
3.2
Corrosive medium corrosiveagent
Substance that causes or promotes corrosion (3.1) when in contact with a given metal
3.3
corrosive environment
An environment containing one or more corrosive media (3.2).
3.4
corrosion systemcorrosionsystem
A system consisting of one or more metals and environmental elements that affect corrosion (3.1).
NOTE. Certain elements of the environment may include. coatings, surface layers or other electrodes (7.1.2).
3.5
corrosioneffect
Changes in any part of a corrosion system (3.4) due to corrosion (3.1).
3.6
corrosion damage
Corrosive effects (3.5) that impair the functioning of metals, the environment or the technical systems of which they are a part.
3.7
corrosion failure
Corrosion damage (3.6) leading to a complete loss of function of a technical system.
