Preferred Label : corrosion rate;
IUPAC definition : The amount of substance transferred per unit time at a specified surface. Using Faraday's
law, the corrosion rate, v cor, can be formally expressed as an electric current which
at the corrosion potential is called the corrosion current, Icor, e.g. for the anodic
dissolution of one component of a material with v cor in mol s-1 and Icor in A one
obtains Icor n.F.vcor, n being the charge number of the electrode reaction and F
the Faraday constant.;
