Abstract
This paper reviews theory and mechanisms of
crevice corrosion as well as its prevention methods. Crevice
corrosion is one of the most important and harmful forms of
localized corrosion that may cause sudden failure of the metal
in service if not prevented properly. So far several protection
methods against crevice corrosion have been developed
including cathodic protection and using inhibitors and
coatings. Hot wax dip method and sealing crevices with
polysulfide are two popular protection methods currently
used in automotive and aerospace industries respectively.
However researches about this devastating type of corrosion
still continue.
