Two other names for general corrosion are _______________

• A. General attack corrosion and uniform corrosion
• B. Uniform attack corrosion and general corrosion
• C. Uniform corrosion and general attack corrosion
• D. General and uniform corrosion

Answer: (A)

General corrosion is the uniform or overall attack on a metal surface, leading to roughly even thinning. When the corrosion progresses evenly across the exposed area, it’s described as uniform corrosion. Another way to refer to the same process is general attack corrosion, which emphasizes that the attack covers the whole surface rather than being localized. Therefore, the two other names for general corrosion are uniform corrosion and general attack corrosion. The other phrasing isn’t standard terminology for this form of corrosion.
