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.

What are some examples of corrosion?

Iron and steel rusting is an example of corrosion. Copper pitting or the green patina one sees on copper roofs are also examples of corrosion. Stress Cracking is also considered an example of corrosion.

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.
