Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #36989 Crevice corrosion
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
The three different types of corrosion: Pitting and Cavity corrosion, Contact corrosion and Crevice corrosion can be prevented with the correct corrosion (rust) prevention treatment methods. Pitting and Cavity corrosion occurs on unprotected steels used in infrastructure and can reduce the strength and thickness of the steel. Contact corrosion occurs at the point of contact when non-rusting stainless steel comes in contact with another piece of rusted metal and can be spread beyond the contact point. Depending on changes in temperature, humidity, geographical location (near the sea, windy and rainy sites), Crevice corrosion occurs in the gap (in confined spaces) between a nut and a bolt. The level of Crevice corrosion is highest at sea level due to the higher concentration of salt. Corrosion occurs at production, transportation, and storage level. Corrosion occurs at any stage of its manufacturing process when a piece of iron (or its alloys, such as steel) comes in contact with oxygen and water. As corrosion occurs only on the surface and not inside the metal if treated, removed or prevented timely from accumulating on the surface, metal can be saved. As the metal is constantly exposed to air and water during the manufacturing process (cutting the metal into shape, machining to refine metal’s figure, and milling of the metal), rusting occurs on the surface of the metal. Corrosion could occur during sea shipping and land freight as the metal is exposed to oxygen and water. Rusting occurs during the storage if metal products (spare parts, tools, or other equipment) are not properly packaged or protected, from air and moisture. When the infrastructure of iron or steel framework is exposed to air and water, they also corrode.

Option 2: "Crevice corrosion occurs (in confined spaces) between a nut and a bolt."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text explicitly mentions that Crevice corrosion occurs in the gap between a nut and a bolt, confirming the statement's accuracy.

Option 1: "Crevice corrosion is highest at the river site."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that Crevice corrosion is highest at sea level due to the higher concentration of salt, not at a river site. This contradicts the information provided in the text.

Option 3: "Crevice corrosion is independent of temperature, humidity, and geographical location or any other factors."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text clearly states that Crevice corrosion depends on changes in temperature, humidity, and geographical location, indicating that it is not independent of these factors.

Option 4: "The temperature, humidity, and geographical location are the main factors responsible for crevice corrosions."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text identifies temperature, humidity, and geographical location as significant factors influencing Crevice corrosion, aligning with the statement.

Option 5: "Crevice corrosion is highest in hilly areas."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifies that Crevice corrosion is highest at sea level, not in hilly areas, making this statement inconsistent with the provided information.
