Since the two tendencies are inseparable for a metal to corrode and for water and the materials it contains to promote or inhibit corrosion, the corrosiveness of a material or the corrosivity of water must be determined in relative, rather than absolute, terms.

Key term(s)
  • corrosivity of water

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation en eau
  • Résistance des matériaux
CONT

Une eau agressive est une eau qui dissout les dépôts calcaires. L'agressivité est liée principalement à la quantité des différents composés du gaz carbonique présents dans l'eau. Une eau totalement adoucie a tendance à dissoudre un dépôt calcaire. L'agressivité de l'eau n'est pas liée à la corrosivité de l'eau.
