The Chemistry of Corrosion 🔬

Corrosion is a natural process driven by chemistry! When metals interact with elements like oxygen and water, they form compounds such as iron oxide (aka rust) that break down the material’s surface over time. 🌧️

This reaction not only affects metal strength but can also lead to serious structural issues if left unchecked. By understanding corrosion’s chemistry, we can design smarter materials and protective measures to keep corrosion under control!
