Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

corrosion, wearing away due to chemical reactions, mainly oxidation (see oxidation-reduction, oxide). It occurs whenever a gas or liquid chemically attacks an exposed surface, often a metal, and is accelerated by warm temperatures and by acids and salts.

Chemical corrosion is also called dry corrosion, because it occurs with direct contact between the material and the corrosive agent, without the need for an aqueous solution.
