the five most important factors that affect the rate of corrosion. - CORRECT ANSWER Humidity, oxygen,
chemical salts, pollutants, temperature
General corrosion - CORRECT ANSWER Results in a relatively uniform loss of material over the entire
surface. Results in a general thinning of the affected surface. Realively easy to inspect. Does not cause
