Humidity
Water is one of the important factor for the process of the corrosion. Air that contain more water
vapor ( more humid ) will speed up the corrosion process.
2.Oxygen
Air that contain more oxygen will speed up the corrosion process.
3. Electrolyte
Electrolytes (acids or salts) are good media for carrying out charge transfers. That results in electrons
being easier to be bound by oxygen in the air.
Substances Impurities on metal surfaces can cause additional reduction reactions so that more metal
atoms are oxidized. For example, the accumulation of carbon dust from the combustion of fuel on
the metal surface can accelerate the reaction of oxygen gas reduction on the metal surface. Thus the
corrosion event is accelerated.
5. Temperature
Temperature affects the speed of the redox reaction in the event of corrosion. In general, the higher
the temperature the faster the corrosion will occur.
6. pH
Adanya reaksi reduksi tambahan pada katode menyebabkan lebih banyak atom logam yang
teroksidasi sehingga laju korosi pada permukaan logam semakin besar
7. Microbiologis
The presence of microbial colonies on metal surfaces can cause increased corrosion in metals. This is
because the microbes are able to degrade metals through redox reactions to obtain energy for their
survival. Microbes that are capable of causing corrosion include protozoa, iron manganese oxide
