what destruction type is corrosion?

Should be Vaporization.
When something corrodes they don't really corrodes into separate atoms but chemical substances which sometimes become vapor or liquid etc depending on what chemical substance is vaporizes into

Neither imo. If we're taking about metals, corrosion doesn't lower the weight of them if it doesn't lower the weight how could it possibly be any of these ?

Sorry. Corrosion doesn't actually vaporize or pulverise the material. Lets use iron for example: When iron corrodes, it reacts with elements in its environment to form compounds, but the total mass of the iron is there. The corrosion products add weight to the original mass of the iron, so you would have a combination of the original iron and the mass of the newly formed compounds. The amount of iron is the same so it wouldn't be what you guys said.

Vaporization:
the process of change from liquid to gas

Atomization:
the process of breaking a substance down into individual atoms or like small particles

Pulverization:
The process of reducing something to powder


Corrosion falls under none of these.
 
And ? This adds nothing to the discussion, corrosion doesn't fall under any destruction value.
Yeah I wasn't saying anything but realised corrosion has its own page, so yeah those won't fall under corrosion upon inspecting closely.

Non metal corrosion also exist or corrosion induced by bacteria etc
I was under more on that idea due to how corrosion page literallys how's a fish corroding to fishbone

Eh, I'm assuming the OP is referring to metal. But yeah.
 
Corrosion actually sounds more like melting.
Melting requires heat, Corrosion does not. Corrosion is a chemical degradation process while melting is a physical phase transition (from solid to liquid)

Corroding something would not be melting it.

I know that, but it's also using chemical energy that technically could be converted to thermal energy via chemical reaction. Combustion of flammable chemicals is another example of this.

Though looking at more details of corrasion. It's more so separating and chipping away particles slowly but surely. It's basically it's own thing that doesn't really fall into the above. It reduces to sizes smaller than V fragmentation, but that doesn't mean it would be as impressive AP wise since corrasion is a slow steady pace.
