corrosion resistant
Unaffected by oxidative damage
Corrosion resistant describes materials that withstand degradation from chemical reactions with their environment—especially rust, oxidation, or acid damage.
Stainless steel, aluminum, and certain plastics are corrosion resistant.
The term appears frequently in engineering and manufacturing contexts: corrosion-resistant coatings, corrosion-resistant alloys.
Also hyphenated as corrosion-resistant.
