Corrosion-Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Corrosion is the deterioration of material when it comes in contact with environment. Corrosion is a spontaneous process; a natural process; a thermodynamically favourable process. Corrosion is considered as the expression of desire of the metal to go back to its original state of ore. Man is made of ashes. He will go back to ashes. Corrosion is like death. It is sure and certain. We are born to die? No! We are born to live; to live happily and making other also happy. However death is unavoidable just like corrosion. We can postpone death. We cannot prevent it. Similarly we can control the rate of corrosion process. We cannot prevent corrosion. This is the philosophy we derive from the history of process of corrosion.
