This type of corrosion acts uniformly on the entire surface of the material, uniform and is due to weakening of the passivation film (chromium oxide) over the entire surface of the steel. It usually occurs due to poor selection of the type of stainless steel, An example of generalized corrosion is present stainless steel type ferritic of low chromium (AISI 430) the one moderate sulfuric acid solution temperature.
