Answer:

  • Oxygen: Like water, oxygen increases the rate of corrosion. Corrosion can take place in an oxygen-deficient environment, but the rate of the corrosion reaction (and destruction of the metal) is generally much slower. In immersed conditions, if an electrolyte is in contact with one area of metal containing more oxygen than the electrolyte in contact with another area of the metal, the higher oxygen-concentration area is cathodic relative to the remaining surface. An oxygen concentration cell then forms, which results in rapid corrosion.
  • Temperature: Corrosion reactions are electrochemical in nature and usually accelerate d with increasing temperature; therefore, corrosion proceeds faster in warmer environments than in cooler ones.
  • Chemical Salts: Chemical salts increase the rate of corrosion by increasing the efficiency (conductivity) of the electrolyte. The most common chemical salt is sodium chloride, a major element of seawater. Sodium chloride deposited on atmospherically exposed surfaces also acts as a hygroscopic material (i.e., it extracts moisture from the air), which then increases the corrosion in non-immersed areas.
  • Humidity: Humidity and time-of-wetness play a large role in promoting and accelerating corrosion rates. Time-of-wetness refers to the length of time an atmospherically exposed substrate has sufficient moisture to support the corrosion process. The wetter the environment, the more corrosion is likely to occur.
  • Pollutants: Acid rain (a chemical by-product from manufacturing and processing plants), and chlorides (in coastal areas) promote corrosion. Acid gases, such as carbon dioxide, can also dissolve in a film of moisture in contact with the metal.
