When was the process of anodising first used for industrial purposes?
Anodising is a electrolytic passivation process, used on metals to increase corrosion resistance and for better adhesion of paint. It was first used for industrial purposes in 1923, to protect seaplane parts from corrosion.
What is corrosion of metals?
The corrosion of metals is the gradual destruction by chemical reaction with its environment. This process involves the electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
What is the reason for coating steel components with a special compound when they contact with an aluminum frame?
To stop electrolytic action causing corrosion. Dissimilar metals (especially steel and aluminium) form a battery when wetted with water. This battery will cause a small current flow in the metals which will then eat away at the aluminium. Coating one or the other components, provides an insulator, which stops the battery forming.
What kind of reaction is the corrosion of a metal by an acid?
Corrosion is the type of reaction between metals and acids.
Which combination of metals would electrolytic corrosion be most pronounced?
The two furthest apart in the galvanic series - for all practical purposes this is magnesium and Gold

What are some methods in minimizing corrosion among metals?
Metals are usually treated with a coating that helps minimize the forming of corrosion. Steel is treated to galvanize it from developing rust, which is a type of corrosion. Electroplating is another way to minimize corrosion in metals.
Corrosion is a physical property of metals?
No, corrosion is a chemical change of the metal involved.
Can you call the corrosion of all metals as rusting?
No. Rust (iron oxide) only occurs in metals containing iron. A couple examples of different types of corrosion are galvanic corrosion and chloride pitting corrosion.
Is it ok to connect brass pipe to copper pipe?
Absolutely, positively, YES as both are non ferrous metals and there is no possibility of galvanic corrosion or electrolytic action taking place. Presuming your taking about RED BRASS as opposed to Yellow
What is corrosion of metals?

Is Corrosion is a physical property of metals?
No, corrosion is a chemical change of the metal involved.
What change to a metal is a chemical change?
Corrosion. Oxidation, combination of the surface atoms with oxygen, called rust in the case of iron, is one form of corrosion. Aluminum and many other metals oxidize. Combination with sulfur is also common, particularly for copper compounds. All metals except gold corrode in some fashion.
What metals are most affected and least affected by metal corrosion What causes metal corrosion Hows is metal corrosion caused by water and how is it related to it?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction; corrosion of iron is the reaction with water in the presence of oxygen. Metals as Pt, Au, Ta, Rh, Ru, etc are less sensible to corrosion.
Is corrosion of metals is physical?
corrosion of metals is a chemical reaction between metal and oxygen in atmosphere. Oxidation of metals called corrosion. It affects the physical properties of metal in either way like rusting, colour change, life cycle shortening etc.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
