Question

What is corrosion? What are the ways to prevent it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Corrosion is when a refined metal is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide state this leads to deterioration of the material.

PREVENTION: There are several cost effective ways to prevent corrosion including:

• Use non-corrosive metals, such as stainless steel or aluminium

• Make sure the metal surface stays clean and dry Use drying agents

• Use a coating or barrier product such as grease, oil, paint or carbon fibre coating

• Lay a layer of backfill, for example limestone, with underground piping

• Use a sacrificial anode to provide a cathodic protection system

Answer 2

Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more chemically stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulphide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment.
