Corrosion is a natural process that gradually degrades things in the environment through chemical or electrochemical reactions. Corrosion happens when the majority of all of the atoms on a metal surface becomes oxidized, causing the entire surface to corrode. The most frequent type of corrosion is iron rusting.

4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O → 2Fe2O3.xH2O

(b) Rusting

(c) Oxidation

(d) Statues, cars, buildings
