FAQ
Pitting corrosion occurs when the cathode (damaged coating) is large and the anode (exposed metal) is small. Typically the surface protection layer or film becomes the cathode when it is damaged and cracked. A small area of metal is then exposed and becomes the anodic.
Pitting corrosion is a form of localized corrosion, which produces attacks in the form of spots or pits. Pitting corrosion may occur in stainless steels in neutral or acid solutions containing halides, primarily chlorides (Cl-), such as seawater.
1 : the action or process of forming pits (as in acned skin, a tooth, or a dental restoration) 2 : the formation of a depression or indentation in living tissue that is produced by pressure with a finger or blunt instrument and disappears only slowly following release of the pressure in some forms of edema.
Pitting Corrosion is the localized corrosion of a metal surface confined to a point or small area, that takes the form of cavities.The resulting pits can become wide and shallow or narrow and deep which can rapidly perforate the wall thickness of a metal.
Pitting corrosion is a localized form of corrosion by which cavities or "holes" are produced in the material. Pitting is considered to be more dangerous than uniform corrosion damage because it is more difficult to detect, predict and design against. Corrosion products often cover the pits.
Another viable method for repairing pitting corrosion is the use of cold-applied epoxy materials. These 100% solids, paste-grade materials have been on the market since the 1960s and have been continuously improved to withstand greater temperatures and pressure levels as well as various in-service conditions.
What Causes Pitting Corrosion? Pitting corrosion occurs when the cathode (damaged coating) is large and the anode (exposed metal) is small.
