corrosion rate

also contains definition of: corrosion current
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01358
The amount of substance transferred per unit time at a specified surface. Using Faraday's law, the corrosion rate, νcor, can be formally expressed as an electric current which at the corrosion potential is called the corrosion current, Icor, e.g. for the anodic dissolution of one component of a material with νcor in mols−1 and Icor in A one obtains Icor=n F νcor, n being the charge number of the electrode reaction and F the Faraday constant.
