Corrosion can be defined as the deterioration of materials by chemical processes. Of these, the most important by far is electrochemical corrosion of metals, in which the oxidation process M → M n+ + n e n– is facilitated by the presence of a suitable electron acceptor, sometimes referred to in corrosion science as a depolarizer..

Ulick R. Evans, an early pioneer in explaining corrosion as an electrochemical process, said that it could be described as destruction by electrochemical or chemical agencies. Corrosion electrochemistry, therefore, is simply an electrochemical method through which we can perceive the mechanisms of corrosion.
Electrochemical corrosion of metals occurs when electrons from atoms at the surface of the metal are transferred to a suitable electron acceptor or depolarizer. Water must be present to serve as a medium for the transport of ions. The most common depolarizers are oxygen, acids, and the cations of less active metals.
All electrochemical corrosion cells must have four components: (1) an anode (the corroding metal), (2) a cathode (metal, graphite, or semiconducting electron conductor), (3) an electrolyte containing a reducible species, and (4) an electron-conducting connection between the electrodes.
In the process of electrochemical corrosion, metal atoms lose electrons to become ions and in the process they go into solution. During the corrosion reaction, an electric circuit is formed and the system is called an electrochemical cell. A typical example of an electrochemical cell is presented in Fig. 4.1. The cell consists of three components:
In conclusion, electrochemical reactions describing corrosion, metal reduction, or metal protection involve electron transfer related to the passage of electric current in an active electrochemical cell at a certain temperature and pressure.
In electrochemical corrosion, the electrons produced at the anode are consumed by reaction of the electrolyte on the cathode surface. Since a wide variety of corrosives can attack metals, several cathode reactions can exist. The most common is the one occurring in nature and in neutral or basic solutions, the reduction of dissolved oxygen:
