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.
