Crevice corrosion occurs because part of a metal surface is in a shielded or restricted environment, compared to the rest of the metal which is exposed to an electrolyte.

This animation is part of our Corrosion & Coatings Technology course. This course provides an in-depth understanding of the world of corrosion, the electrochemical mechanisms and methods for preventing corrosion such as protective coatings and the technology used to apply them.
