   Corrosion
   Corrosion is the external chemical changes which take place in materials in ordinary use, resulting in their injury or destruction. The corrosion of metal is very important, but the corrosion of stone is also a major problem. The corrosion or iron is commonly known as rusting.

   Corrosion
   Except for gold, metals corrode in sea water. Corroded metals are a special problem. Sometimes iron has disappeared totally, just leaving a cavity inside a concretion, which can be casted (filled with plastic or plaster). Sometimes the metal is still there, but need various conservation treatment. This is described by Donny Hamilton in Methods of Conserving Archaaeological Material from Underwater Sites.

    Corrosion
    Deteriorative loss of a metal as a result of dissolution environmental reactions. It is a transformation process in which the metal passes from its elemental form to a combined (or compound) form. See also: Cathodic Protection.

    corrosion
    corrode. Corrosion is a reaction that involves action of an oxidizing agent on a metal. The oxidizing agent is often oxygen dissolved in water. See How Iron Rusts for examples.

18. 
    Corrosion
    The destruction of the surface of a metal by the chemical action of the fluid in which it is immersed. This takes the form of rust in steels and pitting in light alloys. Corrosion is caused particularly through the action of sea water. Various chemical treatments such as anodising are used to combat corrosion.
