Hi all,
I am trying to understand how the process of either crevice or pitting corrosion works (I believe they are quite the same)
I understood the part of how they start and what enhances them or how they can be prevented, but I can't understand an actual scenario.
Say for example we have stainless steel in a water solution;
Thanks a lot!

Say for example we have stainless steel in a water solution;
- From which elements and to which elements do the electrons travel?
- With which elements does the water react? -> and does it always change to hydrogen and hydroxide?
- How does hydrogen increase the acidity?
- Why does the steel where the corrosion take place always become the anode?
Thanks a lot!
