Introduction
The definitions in this document have been drawn up with the objective of achieving a proper balance
between precision and simplicity. The main objective of this document is to provide definitions that
can be understood to have the same meaning by all concerned. Some corrosion terms in present use
have developed through common usage and are not always logical. It has not, therefore, been possible
to define certain terms in the form they are used in some countries. Because of the occasional conflicts
between tradition and logic, some definitions inevitably represent a compromise.
An example of this kind of conflict is the term “corrosion”. This has been used to mean the process,
results of the process and damage caused by the process. In this document, corrosion is understood
to mean the process. Any detectable result of corrosion in any part of a corrosion system is termed
“corrosion effect”. The term “corrosion damage” covers any impairment of the function of the technical
system of which the metal and the environment form a part. Consequently, the term “corrosion
protection” implies that the important thing is to avoid corrosion damage rather than to prevent
corrosion, which in many cases is impossible and sometimes not necessary.

3 Terms related to corrosion in general
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
corrosion
physicochemical interaction between a metallic material and its environment that results in changes in
the properties of the metal, and that may lead to significant impairment of the function of the metal, the
environment or the technical system, of which these form a part
Note 1 to entry: This interaction is often of an electrochemical nature.
3.2
corrosive agent
substance that will initiate or promote corrosion (3.1) when in contact with a given metal
3.3
corrosive environment
environment that contains one or more corrosive agents (3.2)
3.4
corrosion system
system consisting of one or more metals and those parts of the environment that influence corrosion (3.1)
Note 1 to entry: Parts of the environment may be, for example, coatings, surface layers or additional electrodes
(7.1.2).
3.5
corrosion effect
change in any part of the corrosion system (3.4) caused by corrosion (3.1)
3.6
corrosion damage
corrosion effect (3.5) that causes impairment of the function of the metal, the environment or the
technical system, of which these form a part

SIST EN ISO 8044:2020
ISO 8044:2020(E)
3.7
corrosion failure
corrosion damage (3.6) characterized by the total loss of function of the technical system
3.8
corrosion product
substance formed as a result of corrosion (3.1)
3.9
scale
solid layer of corrosion products (3.8) formed on a metal at high temperature
Note 1 to entry: The term “scale” is also used in some countries for deposits from supersaturated water.
3.10
rust
visible corrosion products (3.8) consisting mainly of hydrated iron oxides
3.11
corrosion depth
distance between a point on the surface of a metal affected by corrosion (3.1) and the original surface
of the metal
3.12
corrosion rate
corrosion effect (3.5) on a metal per unit time
Note 1 to entry: The unit used to express the corrosion rate depends on the technical system and on the type of
corrosion effect. Thus, corrosion rate is typically expressed as an increase in corrosion depth (3.11) per unit time,
or the mass of metal turned into corrosion products (3.8) per area of surface and per unit time, etc. The corrosion
effect may vary with time and may not be the same at all points of the corroding surface. Therefore, reports
of corrosion rates are typically accompanied by information on the type, time dependency and location of the
corrosion effect.
3.13
corrosion resistance
ability of a metal to maintain serviceability (3.16) in a given corrosion system (3.4)
3.14
corrosivity
ability of an environment to cause corrosion (3.1) of a metal in a given corrosion system (3.4)
3.15
corrosion likelihood
qualitative and/or quantitative expression of the expected corrosion effects (3.5) in a defined corrosion
system (3.4)
3.16
serviceability
ability of a corrosion system (3.4) to perform its specified functions without impairment
due to corrosion (3.1)
3.17

3.19
critical humidity
value of the relative humidity of an atmosphere above which there is a sharp increase in the corrosion
rate (3.12) of a given metal

function of the metal, the environment or the technical system, of which these form a part
3.21
pickling
removal of oxides or other compounds from a metal surface by chemical or electrochemical action
3.22
pitting resistance equivalent number
PREN
indication of the resistance of stainless steels and nickel-based alloys to pitting in the presence of
chloride-containing water
Note 1 to entry: An example formula for PREN is given by
PREN=+%,Cr 33[]()%,Mo ++05()%%WN16()
Note 2 to entry: In general, the higher the PREN the higher the resistance to pitting corrosion (4.15).
3.23
trap
micro structural site at which the residence time for a hydrogen atom is long compared to the residence
time in an interstitial lattice site
3.24
time of wetness
period when a metallic surface is covered by adsorptive and/or liquid films of electrolyte (7.1.1) to be
capable of causing atmospheric corrosion (4.4)
3.25
threshold stress
tensile stress above which stress corrosion cracks initiate and grow for
specified test conditions
3.26
threshold stress intensity factor for stress corrosion cracking
K
ISCC
stress intensity factor above which stress corrosion crack propagation is sustained
Note 1 to entry: The threshold stress intensity factor is a concept of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM)
and is applicable when the plastic zone size is large compared with the microstructure, the crack is sufficiently
long, and a high constraint to plastic deformation prevails, i.e. under plane strain predominant conditions. For
growing stress corrosion cracks, LEFM is not necessarily applicable in all detail but is adopted as a pragmatic
tool that is commonly used.
Note 2 to entry: Stress corrosion cracks may initiate at a surface or a surface defect and grow in the “small crack”
regime at stress intensity factor levels below the apparent threshold stress intensity factor. Therefore, LEFM is
not applicable in the “small crack” regime.

metal and then combines to form molecular hydrogen at trap (3.23) sites
4.40
hydrogen stress cracking
HSC
cracking that results from the presence of hydrogen in a metal and tensile stress (residual or applied
or both)
Note 1 to entry: HSC describes cracking in metals that are not sensitive to sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC)
(4.43) but which may be embrittled by hydrogen when galvanically coupled, as the cathode (7.1.3), to another
metal that is corroding actively as an anode (7.1.4). The term “galvanically induced HSC” has been used for this
mechanism of cracking.
4.41
irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking
intergranular cracking of austenitic stainless steels resulting from a reduction in the chromium
concentration in a very narrow band at the grain boundaries following exposure to high neutron
irradiation doses exceeding one displacement per atom, which causes the migration of point defects to
the grain boundaries
4.42
stepwise cracking
SWC
cracking that connects hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) (4.39) on adjacent planes in a metal
Note 1 to entry: This term describes the crack appearance. The linking of hydrogen-induced cracks to produce
stepwise cracking is dependent upon local strain between the cracks and embrittlement of the surrounding steel
by dissolved hydrogen. HIC/SWC is usually associated with low-strength plate steels used in the production of
pipes and vessels.
4.43
sulfide stress corrosion cracking
SSCC
cracking of metal involving corrosion (3.1) and tensile stress, residual and/or applied, in the presence of
water and hydrogen sulfide
Note 1 to entry: SSCC is a form of hydrogen stress cracking (HSC) (4.40) and involves the embrittlement of
the metal by the atomic hydrogen that is produced by acid corrosion on the metal surface. Hydrogen uptake
is promoted in the presence of sulfides. The atomic hydrogen can diffuse into the metal, reduce ductility and
increase susceptibility to cracking. High strength metallic materials and hard weld zones are prone to SSCC.

stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking
SOHIC
staggered small cracks formed approximately perpendicular to the principal stress (residual or applied)
resulting in a “ladder-like” crack array linking (sometimes small) pre-existing HIC (4.39) cracks
Note 1 to entry: The mode of cracking can be categorised as sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC) (4.43) caused
by a combination of external stress and the local strain around hydrogen-induced cracks. SOHIC is related to SSCC
and HIC/stepwise cracking (SWC) (4.42). It has been observed in parent material of longitudinally welded pipe
and in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of welds in pressure vessels. SOHIC is a relatively uncommon pheno

Introduction
The definitions in this International Standard have been drawn up with the objective of achieving a
proper balance between precision and simplicity. The main objective of this International Standard is to
provide definitions that can be understood to have the same meaning by all concerned. Some corrosion
terms in present use have developed through common usage and are not always logical. It has not,
therefore, been possible to define certain terms in the form they are used in some countries. Because of
the occasional conflicts between tradition and logic some definitions inevitably represent a compromise.
An example of this kind of conflict is the term “corrosion”. This has been used to mean the process,
results of the process and damage caused by the process. In this International Standard corrosion is
understood to mean the process. Any detectable result of corrosion in any part of a corrosion system is
termed “corrosion effect”. The term “corrosion damage” covers any impairment of the function of the
technical system of which the metal and the environment form a part. Consequently the term “corrosion
protection” implies that the important thing is to avoid corrosion damage rather than to prevent
corrosion, which in many cases is impossible and sometimes not necessary.

Corrosion of metals and alloys — Basic terms and definitions
1 Scope
This International Standard defines terms relating to corrosion that are widely used in modern
science and technology. In addition, some definitions are supplemented with short explanations.
NOTE 1 Throughout the document IUPAC rules for electrode potential signs are applied. The term “metal”
is also used to include alloys and other metallic materials.
NOTE 2 Terms and definitions related to inorganic surface treatment of metals are given in ISO 2080.
NOTE 3 See also the ISO online browsing platform (OBP): www.iso.org/obp/ui/
2 General terms
2.1
corrosion
physicochemical interaction between a metalic material and its environment that results in changes
in the properties of the metal, and which may lead to significant impairment of the function of the
metal, the environment, or the technical system, of which these form a part
Note 1 to entry: This interaction is often of an electrochemical nature.
2.2
corrosive agent
substance which will initiate or promote corrosion when in contact with a given metal”
2.3
corrosive environment
environment that contains one or more corrosive agents (2.2)
2.4
corrosion system
system consisting of one or more metals and those parts of the environment that influence corrosion
(2.1)
Note 1 to entry: Parts of the environment may be, for example, coatings, surface layers or additional electrodes
(6.1.2).
2.5
corrosion effect
change in any part of the corrosion system (2.4) caused by corrosion (2.1)
2.6
corrosion damage

oSIST prEN ISO 8044:2019
ISO/DIS 8044:2019(E)
ISO/DIS 8044
corrosion effect (2.5) that causes impairment of the function of the metal, the environment or the
technical system, of which these form a part
2.7
corrosion failure
corrosion damage (2.6) characterized by the total loss of function of the technical system
2.8
corrosion product
substance formed as a result of corrosion (2.1)
2.9
scale
solid layer of corrosion products (2.8)formed on a metal at high temperature
Note 1 to entry: The term “scale” is also used in some countries for deposits from supersaturated water.
2.10
rust
visible corrosion products (2.8) consisting mainly of hydrated iron oxides
2.11
corrosion depth
distance between a point on the surface of a metal affected by corrosion (2.1) and the original
surface of the metal
2.12
corrosion rate
corrosion effect (2.5) on a metal per time
Note 1 to entry: The unit used to express the corrosion rate depends on the technical system and on the type
of corrosion effect. Thus corrosion rate may be expressed as an increase in corrosion depth (2.11) per time, or
the mass of metal turned into corrosion products (2.8) per area of surface and per time, etc. The corrosion
effect may vary with time and may not be the same at all points of the corroding surface. Therefore, reports of
corrosion rates should be accompanied by information on the type, time dependency and location of the
corrosion effect.
2.13
corrosion resistance
ability of a metal to maintain serviceability (2.16) in a given corrosion system (2.4)
2.14
corrosivity

ISO/DIS 8044:2019(E)
ISO/DIS 8044
period when a metallic surface is covered by adsorptive and/or liquid films of electrolyte to be
capable of causing atmospheric corrosion
2.25
threshold stress (for stress corrosion cracking)
tensile stress above which stress corrosion cracks initiate and grow, for the specified test conditions
2.26
threshold stress intensity factor for stress corrosion cracking
K
ISCC
stress intensity factor above which stress corrosion crack propagation is sustained
Note 1 to entry: The threshold stress intensity factor is a concept of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM)
and is applicable when the plastic zone size is large compared with the microstructure, the crack is sufficiently
long, and a high constraint to plastic deformation prevails, i.e. under plane strain predominant conditions. For
growing stress corrosion cracks, LEFM is not necessarily applicable in all detail but is adopted as a pragmatic
tool that is commonly used.
Note 2 to entry: Stress corrosion cracks may initiate at a surface or a surface defect and grow in the “short
crack” regime at stress intensity factor levels below the apparent threshold stress intensity factor. Therefore,
LEFM is not applicable in the “short crack” regime.

3.42
irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking
intergranular cracking of austenitic stainless steels resulting from a reduction in the chromium
concentration in a very narrow band at the grain boundaries following exposure to high neutron
irradiation doses exceeding one displacement per atom (which causes the migration of point defects
to the grain boundaries)
3.43
stepwise cracking
SWC
cracking that connects hydrogen induced cracks (HICs) on adjacent planes in a metal
Note 1 to entry: This term describes the crack appearance. The linking of hydrogen induced cracks to produce
stepwise cracking is dependent upon local strain between the cracks and embrittlement of the surrounding
steel by dissolved hydrogen. HIC/SWC is usually associated with low-strength plate steels used in the
production of pipes and vessels.
3.44
sulfide stress corrosion cracking
SSCC
cracking of metal involving corrosion and tensile stress (residual and/or applied) in the presence of
water and hydrogen sulfide
Note 1 to entry: SSCC is a form of hydrogen stress cracking (HSC) and involves embrittlement of the metal by
atomic hydrogen that is produced by acid corrosion on the metal surface. Hydrogen uptake is promoted in the
presence of sulfides. The atomic hydrogen can diffuse into the metal, reduce ductility and increase
susceptibility to cracking. High strength metallic materials and hard weld zones are prone to SSCC.
3.45
stress oriented hydrogen induced cracking
SOHIC
staggered small cracks formed approximately perpendicular to the principal stress (residual or
applied) resulting in a “ladder-like” crack array linking (sometimes small) pre-existing HIC cracks
Note 1 to entry: The mode of cracking can be categorised as SSCC caused by a combination of external stress
and the local strain around hydrogen induced cracks. SOHIC is related to SSCC and HIC/SWC. It has been
observed in parent material of longitudinally welded pipe and in the heat affected zone of welds in pressure
vessels. SOHIC is a relatively uncommon phenomenon usually associated with low-strength ferritic pipe and
pressure vessel steels.
Note 2 to entry: cf. hydrogen embrittlement (3.34).

it may develop along transgranular paths or a mixed intergranular/transgranular path.
Note 2 to entry: Layer corrosion (3.26) can be developed on the first stage.
3.47
filiform corrosion
type of corrosion proceeding under coating materials on metals in the form of threads, generally
starting from bare edges or from local damage to the coating
Note 1 to entry: Usually the threads are irregular in length and direction of growth, but they may also be
nearly parallel and of approximately equal length. It should be noted that filiform corrosion can occur under
different protective coatings.
3.48
tribo-corrosion
any form of corrosion that involves constant removal of the passive layer due to fluid or particles
impact on the corroding surface or the friction between the corroding surface and another surface
Note 1 to entry: Tribo-corrosion includes but is not restricted to: wear corrosion (3.30), fretting corrosion
(3.29) and erosion corrosion (3.27).
Note 2 to entry: This process may result in an increase in friction of bearing surfaces in addition to causing
material loss.
3.49
impingement attack
form of erosion corrosion in aqueous liquids under high velocity or turbulent flow conditions
associated on the metal surface causing repetitive disruption of protective films leading to
accelerated localised corrosion
3.50
high temperature corrosion
corrosion by gases or deposits or both gases and deposits occurring at elevated temperatures under
conditions where aqueous electrolytes no longer exist
Note 1 to entry: High temperature corrosion can become significant at temperatures above 170 °C depending
on material and environment.
3.51
hot corrosion
corrosion by gases or deposits or both gases and deposits forming a liquid phase during a high
temperature corrosion (3.52) reaction

the surface of the metal or alloy
3.53
metal dusting
carburization of metallic materials in process gases containing carbon oxides and hydrocarbons and
with extremely low oxygen partial pressures leading to disintegration of the metal into dust of
graphite, metal or carbides, or combinations
Note 1 to entry: The temperature range for metal dusting lies between 400 °C and 900 °C. For the mechanism
to happen, a carbon activity higher than 1 in the process gas is required.
