It is known as dissimilar metals corrosion. Whichever metal is softer will tend to corrode more quickly than the harder metal. All metals corrode because nature is trying to return the metal to it's natural state. As the slave metal corrodes it actually produces some electricity. In fact that is exactly how a battery works. The reaction of the cathode to the anode causes a measured amount of electical activity. Also, on ships the paint they use has small metal particles in it to draw the corrosion to themselves rather than the ships hull. Everything is always trying to return to its lowest origin and corrosion is the way metal does it.

Explain dry corrosion with an example?
Dry corrosion occurs when the metal reacts with oxygen in the air.
What occurs when some materials are exposed to oxygen and water over time and can result in rusting?
Oxidation happens.
When is corrosion useful?
Corrosion will be useful when you work on corrosion industry.
Is corrosion of aluminium metal a physical process?
No, corrosion of aluminum metal is a chemical process. It occurs when aluminum reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture, forming a layer of aluminum oxide on the surface. This chemical reaction leads to the degradation of the metal over time.
What is meant by differential aeration corrosion illustrate with suitable examples?
Corrosion of metals arising as a result of the formation of an oxygen concentration cell due to the uneven supply of air on the metal surface is known as differential aeration corrosion.Differential aeration corrosion occurs when a metal surface is exposed to differential air concentrations or oxygen concentrations. The part of the metal exposed to higher oxygen concentration acts as cathodic region and part of the metal exposed lower oxygen concentration acts as anodic region. Consequently, poorly oxygenated region undergoes corrosion.
Explain dry corrosion with an example?
Dry corrosion occurs when the metal reacts with oxygen in the air.
Does chloride cause corrosion?
No because the cause of corrosion only occurs when iron comes in contact with oxygen.
What occurs when acid in rainwater changes rocks?
corrosion
Causes of corrosion?
occurs when iron combines with oxygen in the air
What is metal corrosion?
Metal Corrosion or Metallic Corrosion can be defined as the destructive attack of a metal through interaction with its environment.The most common example is Rust, an iron oxide Fe2O3, that is the consequence of the Corrosion process of Iron.
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.
What prevents corrosion?
Under Coating
How does corrosion occurs?
Rust? It's oxidation. More likely to occur with moisture present.
What is a tool to make a rivet thicker and shorter?
I assume the rivet you are asking about is a "tinners" rivet and not a more common "blind" rivet (commonly known as a "pop" rivet). If this the case the tool you want is called a "rivet set".
What is the name for a hammering tool used to shorten and thicken rivets?
upset -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upsetting the rivet is to compress the rivet during the installation process. That can be done with a rivet gun to "hammer" the rivet against a bucking bar, or to use a rivet squeezer to compress the rivet.
What is a rivet gun?
a rivet gun is a gun
A D-D rivet is recognized by?
A DD rivet is recognised by 2 dashes on the head of the rivet
