A review of the multifaceted nature of corrosion : the impact of steel formability and surface roughness on corrosion resistance (part 1)

Abstract

This two –part review article explores the diverse nature of corrosion, focusing on the impact of steel formability and surface roughness on corrosion resistance. Corrosion is a significant issue in various industries, leading to economic losses and safety risks. Traditional methods often overlook the effects of steel's formability and surface roughness, which can influence stress distribution, microstructure, and areas prone to corrosion. This article reviews environmental factors contributing to corrosion, such as material composition, electrochem- ical potential, surface roughness, stress, deformation, and temperature. A case study by Wang et al. presented in this article, while the 2 nd part of our paper focuses more on case studies.
