Preferred Label : non-uniform corrosion;
IUPAC definition : Corrosion is non-uniform if the time average of the corrosion current through a unit
area depends on its position on the surface. Non-uniform corrosion can be due to inhomogeneities
of structure or of composition of the corroding material, or to inhomogeneities of
the environment. Special cases of non-uniform corrosion such as pitting or intergranular
corrosion are sometimes called localized corrosion.;
