When a material reacts with the external environment, over a time, its structure will be deteriorated, and breaks down into small pieces. Ultimately, it can disintegrate into the atomic level. This is known as corrosion.

Rusting

Rusting is a chemical process, which is common with the metals containing iron. In other words, the corrosion process taking place when there is iron, it is known as rusting. For rusting to take place, there should be certain conditions. In the presence of oxygen and moisture or water, iron undergoes this reaction and form a series of iron oxide.
