3(b) What do you mean by the term corrosion? What are the different ways to delay the destruction of metal under corrosion?
6 M

4(a) Identify the type of corrosion for the following cases:
i) Formation of cavities of small anodic area around which metal is relatively unattacked as compared large cathodic area.
ii) Simultaneous effect of environment and cylic fluctuation of stress.
