Corrodes Crossword Clue

 The answer to the crossword clue "Corrodes" is RUSTS. Rusting is a type of corrosion that occurs when iron is exposed to oxygen and water. The oxygen and water react with the iron to form iron oxide, which is a reddish-brown substance.

Rusting can be prevented by coating the iron with a protective layer, such as paint or varnish. It can also be prevented by keeping the iron dry.

Here are some other types of corrosion:

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, such as water. The more active metal will corrode, while the less active metal will be protected.

Erosion corrosion occurs when a metal is exposed to a flowing liquid or gas. The liquid or gas can carry away the protective layer on the metal, exposing it to corrosion.

Stress corrosion cracking occurs when a metal is under stress and is also exposed to a corrosive environment. The stress can cause cracks to form in the metal, which can then allow the corrosive environment to attack the metal.

Corrosion can be a serious problem, as it can weaken and eventually destroy metal objects. It can also lead to safety hazards, as corroded metal can be more likely to fail.
