Summery: Localized corrosion is characterized by intense dissolution
at discrete sites on the surface of a metal or alloy, while the
remainder of the surface corrodes at a much lower rate. The
ratio of the two rates is on the order of 10⁹. Typical forms of localized
corrosion include crevice corrosion, pitting, stress corrosion cracking,
and intergranular corrosion. Localized corrosion represents the
primary corrosion failure mode for passive/corrosion resistant
materials.
