Corrosion of iron and steel has plagued man for hundreds of years. It begins when any deviation from perfect uniformity in the crystal surface of a ferrous object occurs. Moisture, in contact with such a surface forms tiny electrochemical cells between the points of difference. Reactions, forming iron hydroxide, take place at the anodic areas of these cells.
