Chemical changes in a solution or electrolyte due to the passage of electric current. (This term is loosely applied to corrosion processes in small boats. However, since the term is more closely related to solution phenomena than to corrosion, its use to indicate corrosion should be discouraged. See ‘Galvanic Corrosion’ and ‘Stray- Current Corrosion.’)
