Too Afraid to Ask

Corrosion is when metal rusts or eats away because of water and other chemicals. It can make parts weak if you don't fix it.

Technical Definition

Corrosion is the chemical reaction that degrades metal surfaces, often caused by moisture and salt exposure. In cars, it can weaken structural components if left unchecked.
