Question: where does corrosion take place give two example

title: Corrosion
text: In the most common use of the word , this means electrochemical oxidation of metal in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen or sulfates . Rusting , the formation of iron oxides , is a well - known example of electrochemical corrosion . This type of damage typically produces oxide ( s ) or salt ( s ) of the original metal , and results in a distinctive orange colouration . Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals , such as ceramics or polymers , although in this context , the term `` degradation '' is more common . Corrosion degrades the useful properties of materials and structures including strength , appearance and permeability to liquids and gases . 

Answer: answer: Rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well known example of electrochemical corrosion. Corrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers.
