Question

why does corrosion happens layer by layer ?

Open in App
Solution

The oxide layer can be regarded as a protective film that forms on aluminium when aluminium comes into contact with oxygen. This layer protects the aluminium surface against corrosion in the short run. In case of mechanical damage to the oxide layer, it will repair immediately in the presence of oxygen.
