Abstract
Thermodynamics and kinetics of corrosion are key to understanding and formulating nanoscale materials and their exploitation in corrosion prevention. In particular, nanoscale dimensions may impart behaviour to these materials which is not usually observed in bulk. The relevance of using kinetic and thermodynamic considerations for galvanic corrosion is discussed with theoretical development. The application of these fundamentals to infer corrosion behaviour in alloys and nanolayers has been elucidated.
