non-uniform corrosion

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.N04205
@C01351-1@ is non-uniform if the time average of the @C01358@ through a unit area depends on its position on the surface. Non-@U06555@ can be due to inhomogeneities of structure or of composition of the corroding material, or to inhomogeneities of the environment. Special cases of non-@U06555@ such as pitting or intergranular corrosion are sometimes called localized @C01351-2@.
