Electrolysis and Electrolytic Corrosion


What is electrolysis? Electrolysis refers to the production of chemical changes of the electrolyte by the current flowing through an electrochemical cell. Stray current corrosion is an electrolysis process. Stray current corrosion refers to corrosion resulting from stray current - the current flowing through paths other than the intended circuit.

 

What is electrolytic corrosion? ASTM and NACE standards state that electrolytic corrosion is not a proper term, but sometimes incorrectly used by some authors to refer to galvanic corrosion, stray current corrosion, or any form of electrochemical corrosion. These authors are probably confused themselves and have created further confusion over the online community for others.
