corrodible
Prone to rust
Corrodible describes something capable of being corroded—worn away gradually by chemical action.
Metals exposed to moisture and oxygen are corrodible; gold and platinum are not.
The word appears mainly in technical contexts: corrodible materials, corrodible infrastructure.
Also spelled corrosible.
