Dear Scientists: I would like to know the basic chemical process thats happens to steel when it stays emersed in salt water. I am a diver working in the East River of NY City and currentlly inspecting steel sheet piling ( unprotected by a coating ). I have observed numerous holes in the sheeting and would like to know chemically why this is happening. I do understand that electrons are being exchanged but perhaps you can expound on this. Thank you for your time it is most appreciated. Sincerly, Michael Gray
