Which of the following metals is highly prone to corrosion?

Which of the following metals is highly prone to corrosion? Correct Answer Zinc

Explanation:

Corrosion:

  • Corrosion is the oxidation-induced deterioration of certain materials, both metals, and non-metals.
  • When a substance is exposed to air or certain chemicals, it can corrode.
  • It can occur on different surfaces of substances like wood, alloys, metal, etc. 
  • Degradation is a type of corrosion that can occur in materials such as polymers and ceramics.
  • Corrosion reduces the durability of these substances. 
  •  Zinc is an element that is highly prone to corrosion. Therefore, it is used as a sacrificial anode or in galvanization.

Consider a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete. In a marine environment this bar undergoes uniform corrosion, which leads to the deposition of corrosion products on its surface and an increase in the apparent volume of the bar. This subjects the surrounding concrete to expansive pressure. As a result, corrosion induced cracks appear at the surface of concrete. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
