Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and stopping corrosion. * In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metal in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen or sulfates.

This type of damage typically produces oxide(s) or salt(s) of the original metal, and results in a distinctive orange colouration.
