Corrosion is the phenomenon of deterioration of surface of metal in presence of air and moisture. It is a
natural process and in the presence of a moist atmosphere, chemically active metals get corroded. This is
an oxidation reaction. Rusting is the process where iron corrodes due to exposure to the atmosphere. The
main circumstance of corrosion occurs with iron because it is a structural material in construction, bridges,
buildings, rail transport, ships, etc. Aluminium is also an important structural metal, but even aluminium
undergoes oxidation reactions. However, aluminium doesn’t corrode or oxidize as rapidly as its reactivity
suggests. Copper (Cu) corrodes and forms a basic green carbonate.
