“…Pitting is a type of localized corrosion, characterized by formation of irregular cavities on the surface of a metal. This occurs when a metal is in permanent or intermittent contact with liquid, be it ordinary water, seawater, rain, or even humidity (Garita, Rivolta, and Vega, 2013). However, when working with seawater, resistance to pitting corrosion decreases notably, due to the breakdown of the passive protective layer on the surface of the metal (Antony et al, 2010).…”
