Mode of Attack
Depending on the environment developed in the crevice and the nature of the metal, the crevice corrosion can take a form of:
- pitting (i.e., formation of pits),
- filiform corrosion (this type of crevice corrosion that may occur on a metallic surface underneath an organic coating),
- intergrannular attack, or
- stress corrosion cracking.

Famous quotes containing the words mode of, mode and/or attack:
“If Thought is capable of being classed with Electricity, or Will with chemical affinity, as a mode of motion, it seems necessary to fall at once under the second law of thermodynamics as one of the energies which most easily degrades itself, and, if not carefully guarded, returns bodily to the cheaper form called Heat. Of all possible theories, this is likely to prove the most fatal to Professors of History.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The love of their country is with them only a mode of flattering its master; as soon as they think that master can no longer hear, they speak of everything with a frankness which is the more startling because those who listen to it become responsible.”
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
“Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.”
—Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
