Module 6. Materials & hardware

The lifting or flaking of the metal at the surface due to delamination of grain boundaries caused by the pressure of corrosion is

  • transgranulation.
  • electrolysis.
  • exfoliation.

Explanation

Exfoliation is corrosion that progresses along grain boundaries lying parallel to the surface; the bulky corrosion products force the layers apart, lifting and flaking the metal like the leaves of a book. Electrolysis is the electrochemical process itself, and transgranulation is not a corrosion term, so the described appearance is exfoliation.

because exfoliation is the type of corrosion that flaking and generall loss of meterial is observed.
