Two reasons: there's more surface area at a joint, and the joint gives water a place to get trapped.

When is corrosion useful?
Corrosion will be useful when you work on corrosion industry.
Why does hot water corrode more quickly then cold water?
Corrosion is a chemical reaction. The vast majority of chemical reactions are speeded up by the input of heat. The energy from the heat causes the particles to move faster and thus react faster.
Is ease of corrosion a physical change or a chemical change?
The ease of corrosion of resistance to corrosion is a chemical property and not a physical one. Corrosion is a chemical change which changes the identity of the substance.
What is the fundamental process of corrosion?
damental procces of corrosion
Is rusting an example of corrosion?
Yes, it is the corrosion of iron.
Can enhanced chlorine level in fresh water lead to corrosion of stainless steel?
yes, it can not only lead to corrosion but a faster corrosion.
Why does corrosion go faster in cold areas?
Corrosion which is an oxidation reaction needs oxygen and water. Water in the form of condensation is readily available in cold areas. Hence corrosion go faster in cold areas.
In which liquid will metal corrosion occur faster?
The one that has the strongest oxidizing agent.
Does Acid Rain Make Steel Rust Faster?
Yes it does because it causes corrosion.
Why wire mesh corrodes faster at joints?
Mesh
What has the author C T Fujii written?
C. T. Fujii has written: 'Stress-corrosion cracking characterization of high-strength steels--base metals and weldments' -- subject(s): Steel, Welded joints, Testing, Corrosion
Which joints are the first to show signs of aging?
The weight-bearing joints, such as the knees and hips, are often the first to show signs of aging. This is due to the wear and tear they experience over time from activities like walking, running, and standing. Cartilage degeneration and reduced joint fluid can contribute to symptoms like stiffness, pain, and decreased range of motion in these joints.
Why will salt water rust faster?
The salt contains ions, which increases the rate of corrosion or oxidation of steel.
Does light soda rid a penny of corrosion faster than dark colored soda?
no, dark colors do..... ;)
What is a hypothesis for how pH in water Affects Copper Corrosion?
If the water's pH is more acidic (lower pH) then the effects of copper corrosion will be faster and more pronounce. If the water is less acidic (Higher pH) copper corrosion will take longer and be less pronounce.
Does copper or iron corrode faster and why?
Iron generally corrodes faster because the oxide layer (rust) does not seal the metal's surface from oxygen like the corrosion on copper does.
Why welding is more popular than riveted joints?
It's often faster and can be stronger too.
