Uniform Corrosion

Uniform corrosion is a type of degradation where a metal surface gradually deteriorates evenly across its entire surface due to chemical reactions, often with moisture and oxygen. This process results in a consistent, thin layer of rust or corrosion that weakens the material uniformly. It typically occurs when protective coatings are absent or damaged, exposing the metal to environmental elements. Over time, the entire surface loses its integrity, which can compromise the strength and functionality of the metal object or structure. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can help prevent or slow down uniform corrosion.
