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.
Salt water is corrosive. And there is more moisture in the air.
because sea water have a higher concentration than distilled water
cold water does.
there is more oxygen in water

Because some metals are reactive and corrode in sea water

the pipe with the hot water will.]The piping with cold water as many hydronic systems are over 100 years old and the piping looks as new as the day it was installedAs long as thermo stress and velocity are taken into consideration hot water lines can last longer then their cold countter parts as cold piping becomes more brittle over the years
cold water does.
the heat from hot water will heat the pipe, loosening the bonds between the molecules in the pipe and allowing for more oxygen molecules to enter, creating more rust much faster. cold water will do the opposite; it will make the bonds tighter and allow LESS oxygen in.
There's more water vapor and other gases which cause corrosion.In water, they just go faster. -Neo
Solids dissolve a lot more quickly in hot water because the heat breaks up the particles more quickly, where as the cold would make the particles stay stronger/closer together :)
Raisins plump up more quickly in hot water because the molecules in hot water move quicker than molecules in cold water so the hot water molecules diffuse quicker into the raisin.
