DISADVANTAGES OF CORROSION —
1. Weakens material due to prolonged corrosive action.
2. loss, contamination, and deterioration of the appearance of a material. 
3. safety, health and environmental risks due to corrosion, especially in manufacturing plants.
4. Corrosion tends to vent in technical malfunctions in machines.

ADVANTAGES OF CORROSION —
1. Corrosion of a material has to be renewed, thus giving scope of continuous demand for materials.
2. Corrosion becomes advantageous when a surface produces an oxide film that will keep corrosion from proceeding further; which happens to aluminum metal.

ADVANTAGES
Rust is the oxidized form of Iron.

Normally oxides are more brittle and weaker than their crystalline metal counterparts. Some oxides are beneficial such as Aluminum oxide which provides a thin durable shell that prevents further rusting of the aluminum by means of an impermeable membrane. However, rust is permeable by both water and air meaning that water and air can pass through rust to reach the normal iron underneath.

On top of that, rust is less dense than the original iron so it can force apart adjacent components just like ice puts cracks in sidewalks and potholes in the road.

This means that rust (iron oxide) has no positive traits for the physical characteristics of the structure.

DISADVANTAGES

•the metal loses structural integrity
•flakes and scales off the main portion, •becomes more brittle
•changes the harmonics
•aesthetic problems
•changes in melting point
•different reactions to chemicals
•higher dissolution rate in water
•greater support for bacteria and viruses such as tetanus and others depending on the application it is used for.
