hey friend.....

Mark this answer as branliest if it helped you

"Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more chemically-stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment."

The main factors which affect corrosion are :-

1.More the reactivity of metal, the more will be the possibility of the metal getting corroded.2.The impurities help in setting up voltaic cells, which increase the speed of corrosion.Presence of electrolytes in water also increases the rate of corrosion.

thanks
