Corrosion is the destructive reaction of a metal with another material, e.g. oxygen, or in an extreme pH environment (either acidic or basic).
The corrosion product is a mix of oxide and salts of the original metal.
Generally corrosion can be divided into two categories: dry corrosion or wet corrosion.
