Flow-accelerated corrosion

ID: flow-accelerated-corrosion

Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is a phenomenon that occurs when the protective oxide layer on a metal surface, often in a fluid environment, is disrupted due to the accelerated flow of that fluid. This corrosion process is especially relevant in systems involving liquids, such as in power plants, pipelines, and nuclear facilities, where water or steam is involved.
