In some corrosive media, it is not surprising that intergranular boundaries may be corroded first. This type of corrosion is known as intergranular corrosion, most metals and alloys in a particular corrosive medium may show intergranular corrosion. The term used to describe the corrosion phenomenon that occurs in a relatively uniform manner over the entire surface of the alloy.

In the air or weak media can resist erosion of the sleeve compensator can be called sleeve compensator, that is, the general sleeve compensator; in some strong corrosive media can resist erosion of the sleeve compensator called corrosion-resistant sleeve compensator. Sleeve compensator is not necessarily corrosion-resistant, while corrosion-resistant sleeve compensator certainly will not rust, of course, worthy of the name of sleeve compensator.
