Define composition, stress, and concentration cells
Define composition, stress, and concentration cells:
Composition
cells
- It refer to the variation in the composition of the metal surface,
which can lead to different corrosion rates in different areas of the
metal.
- This can occur due to differences in the composition of the
metal, such as impurities, or due to differences in the way the metal
has been processed.
Stress cells refer
- It to the presence of stress
on the metal surface, which can also lead to differences in the
corrosion rate.
- This can occur due to the presence of physical stress,
such as bending or compression, or due to the presence of chemical
stress, such as changes in temperature or pH.
Concentration cells
- It refer to differences in the concentration of the electrolyte in
different areas of the metal surface, which can also lead to variations
in the corrosion rate.
- This can occur due to differences in the flow of
the electrolyte or due to differences in the way the metal has been
processed.
