CORROSION CONTROL

Corrosion is the degradation of materials, usually metals when it interacts with the environment. The degradation usually results in deterioration of the physical properties of the metal. The effects of deterioration are many with the major result that the degraded metal or part may lose its effectiveness for safe and efficient operation. This may result in expensive replacements.

Corrosion is the degradation of materials, usually metals when it interacts with the environment. The degradation usually results in deterioration of the physical properties of the metal. The effects of deterioration are many with the major result that the degraded metal or part may lose its effectiveness for safe and efficient operation. This may result in expensive replacements. The control of corrosion can be done by conditioning the metal before applying a coating. The conditioning allows for maximum bondage of the coating and requires that the metal be clean, dry and free from any contaminants. Less
