As we have learned

Factor affecting corrosion -

1. Reactivity of metals

2. Presence of moisture and atmospheric gases like CO2 SO2 etc.

3. Presence of impurity

4. Presence of electrolyte

5. Strains in the metal

-

 

  a) larger the area exposed , greater the rate of corrosion

b) low hydrogen over voltage makes liberation of H2 gas easier and speeds up cathodic reaction 

c) Aluminium forms a protective layer on its surface 

d) chromate conversion is used to protect metals
