Preferred Label : active state;
Detailed label : active state in electrochemical corrosion;
IUPAC definition : corrosion in the active state occurs by direct transfer (which may involve one or
several steps) of metal ions from the metallic phase to the adjacent electrolyte.
The corrosion current of an active metal usually increases when the electrode potential
is made more positive, other conditions remaining constant.;
