Abstract: Metal corrosion is a charge transfer process. Study of corrosion and corrosion protection requires manifold knowledge in the field of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, catalysis, transport and surface phenomena. Dealloying, biocorrosion, corrosion effects of electric traction and energy systems are also very important scientific fields for understanding corrosion.

Keywords: metal corrosion, charge transfer, catalysis in corrosion, bimetallic and multimetallic corrosion, adsorption, inhibitors, biocorrosion
