what is the process of corroding metals called
Corrosion is a natural process, which converts refined metal to their more stable oxide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment.In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metal in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen.orrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in this context, the term degradation is more common.
