Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.

Why is corrosion only a problem for some metals (such as iron)?
When moisture present in air causes certain chemical reactions which tends to deteriorate a solid material then this process is called corrosion.
Corrosion may also cause cracks or a pit in metal or substance.
