Erosion Corrosion

Rapidly flowing solutions can often disrupt adherent surface films and deposits that would otherwise offer protection against corrosion. Thinning or removal of surface films by erosion from the flowing stream results in accelerated corrosion, called erosion-corrosion. The attack is accelerated at elbows, tube constrictions, burrs, and other structural features that alter flow direction or velocity, and increase turbulence.
