Corrosive chemicals destroy and damage substances or surfaces which it comes into contact with. When corrosive chemicals come into contact with skin, chemical burns may result and the living tissue may be damaged. As such, corrosive chemicals such as sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide are dangerous, especially in high concentrations. They can be in any state of matter (solid, liquid or gas). Chlorine gas for instance is an example of a corrosive gas. Protective equipment have to be worn and great precautions be taken when coming into contact with these chemicals.

Why does corrosion rate of no value on localized corrosion?

in my opinion, the value of corrosion rate obtained from certain reading is generally determine general corrosion rate, regardless what type of corrosion occur on a specific surface. in localized corrosion, where only some spots on surface is exposed to corrosion and other may be covered by film and etc. From my time of study, still didn't fine any research that can determine corrosion rate of localized corrosion unless u have a really micro- instrumentation that can monitor corrosion on the localized spots..
