What is corrosion? There have been several attempts to define corrosion, Corrosion is the disintegration of an engineered

material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its surroundings.

Corrosion is the spontaneous degradation of a material when it reacts with its environment.

but one of the most commonly accepted is the following Corrosion is an electrochemical reaction between a material and its environment that produces a loss of their properties.

Based on ASTM G76-95. Standard Test Method for Conducting Erosion Tests by Solid Particle Impingement Using Gas Jets, ASTM G40 Terminology relating to wear and Erosion, and MIL-STD-3033 Particle / Sand erosion testing of rotor blade protective materials. Test procedures are typically tailored to the working condition

specifications, i.e. among others particle composition, test duration, air velocity (directly related with the outlet pressure of the sand) and the angle of incidence.

Evaluation of material/component degradation is also tailored to the application. E.g. study the Erosion Rate as the weight loss of specimen material relative to the total flux of abrasive particles that impact the specimen. Profilemetry / Optical properties.
