The corrosion is no more than a chemical reaction product of the binding of the metal with oxygen, namely, corrosion is a deterioration observed in a metallic object because of a high electrochemical impact of oxidative character and degenerative speed of said material will depend of the exposure to the oxidizing agent, the temperature presented, if it is exposed to salinized solutions (conjugated with salt), and finally of the chemical properties that these metallic agents possess; the corrosion process is completely spontaneous and natural; non- metallic materials can also present this process.
As mentioned above, corrosion is the product of an oxido-reductive interaction between the metal, the environment or the water where it is submerged, according to this it is said that the best known causes of corrosion are the alterations produced in the chemical structure of a metal due to exposure to air, an example of this would be: the formation of a brown substance that forms in iron and steel, degrading such materials in such a way that they can break or break, popularly known as "rust or rust" ; in the same way, corrosion can be evidenced in copper, this is observed with a green-blackish coloration on the surface of said material, the aforementioned coloration can also be visible in copper alloys with bronze.
According to this, it can be mentioned that corrosion is a problem that directly affects industries, since it can cause injuries to workers in terms of the rupture due to corrosion of a material, and the cost of replacing said element is high..
