Corrosion means of a metal interaction with the environment that surrounds it, producing the consequent deterioration in their physical and chemical properties. The key features of this phenomenon is that only occurs in the presence of an electrolyte, resulting in clearly identified areas, called anode and cathode: a reaction of anodic oxidation is a reaction in which electrons are released by switching to other regions cathode. In the region produce anodic metal dissolution (corrosion) and thus the immunity region of the metal cathode.

Metallic bonds tend to become ionic bonds, the favors that the material can at one time transfer and receive electrons, creating anodes and cathode areas in its structure. The speed at which a material is slowly and continuously corrodes all depending on the environment where it is, as time passes creates a thin layer of material on the surface, which are formed initially as spots until they appear imperfections on the surface of metal.
