corrosion
의미: The gradual destruction of a material, especially a metal, by chemical reaction with its environment, typically involving oxidation by moisture or acids.
Corrosion is a pervasive engineering and infrastructure challenge — rusting steel, pitting aluminium, and tarnishing copper are all forms of corrosion. 'Corrosion resistance,' 'corrosion prevention,' 'corrosion damage,' and 'corrosion-resistant' are standard collocations. The word is also used figuratively to describe the gradual undermining of values, trust, or institutions — 'the corrosion of democratic norms.' In industry, anti-corrosion treatments such as galvanising, painting, and alloying are essential for protecting infrastructure.
