What is the mechanism of dry corrosion?(a) Absorption(b) Electrochemical(c) Differential solubility(d) Both electrochemical and differential solubilityI had been asked this question in an international level competition.This intriguing question originated from Corrosion and its Classification in chapter Corrosion Principles of Corrosion Engineering

Answer»

Right choice is (a) Absorption

Easiest EXPLANATION: DRY corrosion occurs in the absence of a LIQUID phase. Vapors and gases are usually the corrodents. These will hit and adsorbed on the metal surface to form corrosion. So dry corrosion can be explained by an absorption mechanism.
