Corrosive wear occurs when a machine surface is damaged by chemical attack. The responsible corrosive chemical could be either vaporous or liquid, which might be found in a plant that mixes or handles strong acid or alkali materials. Often the damage to lubricated surfaces comes from acidic byproducts generated by the deterioration of the lubricant.
