Bockris–Devanathan–Reddy equation

The Bockris–Devanathan–Reddy equation describes how quickly metal surfaces corrode or dissolve in a solution, such as during electrochemical reactions. It considers factors like the temperature, concentration of ions, and electric potential, to predict the rate of corrosion. Essentially, it helps scientists understand and quantify the processes involved in corrosion, acting as a mathematical tool to analyze the interplay of chemical and electrical influences at the metal’s surface. This understanding aids in designing better corrosion-resistant materials and protecting structures from degradation.
