What is Corrosion resistance?

Corrosion resistance is the property of a metal, or in general a material, to resist to corrosion attack in a particular environment at defined operating conditions, pressure, temperature and fluid velocity.

 

Usually the corrosion resistance is expressed in terms of Corrosion rate, mm/y or mils. 

 

Table with corrosion rate for different fluids and operating conditions are available to estimate the corrosion resistance of a material.
