NACE CP2 EXAM EXAMINATION TEST 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
◉ EMF series. Answer: The arrangement of elements according to their
electrode potential, or their tendency to corrode vs SHE standard
hydrogen electrode
◉ Galvanic Series. Answer: List of metals and alloys arranged
according to their corrosion potentials in a common electrolyte
◉ EMF (electromotive force). Answer: Driving force for corrosion
(voltage difference)
◉ Volt. Answer: joule per coulomb where a joule is a unit of energy
◉ Amps (Amperes). Answer: Rate of flow of charge, 1 coulomb per
second
◉ Metal ion concentration HIGH. Answer: less active the metal will be
in that particular electrolyte
◉ Temperature. Answer: Temp ⬆️ Corrosion ⬆️
Temp ⬇️ Corrosion ⬇️
, ◉ Dezincification. Answer: Zinc Corrosion/leaching in brass alloys
