In Base metal alloys, Corrosion resistance occurs due to___________________?

Correct answer: A. Passivity

  • A. Passivity
  • B. High Fusion Temperature
  • C. High Molecular Weight
  • D. Co-efficient of Thermal Expansion

Explanation

Base-metal alloys such as chromium-containing alloys resist corrosion through passivation, in which a thin, adherent oxide film blocks further chemical attack. Fusion temperature, molecular weight, and thermal expansion do not provide this protective mechanism.
