discuss briefly the different methods used for preventing corrosion of metals
Answers
Corrosion is known as deterioration of metal due to environmental interactions.
It takes place in the presence of moisture, metal and an oxidizing agent.
There are many ways to avoid corrosion but the most effective ones are:
adding a protective coating to avoid contact with such environment;
sacrificial coating,
that is coating with another metal; using corrosion resistant metals and so on.
here are some helpful ways to prevent corrosion of metals:
Turn to non-corrosive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel.
Keep the area around the metal surface dry.
Use drying agents and moisture barrier products.
Make sure underground piping is laid in a layer of backfill, such as limestone.
Make sure any electrical components are cleaned regularly
Following these simple steps can add a lot of life to metal and stop the corrosion of metals in their tracks. Keep in mind that all metal requires maintenance. Use these methods frequently to prevent corrosion of metals.
