Question

What is done to prevent corrosion of metals?

Answer 1

Answer:

Below are the different methods of metal corrosion prevention.

Explanation:

1. Applying of paint - Paint provides barrier coasting thereby preventing metals from direct contact with external harsh environment.
2. Application of powders including including epoxy, nylon, and urethane which are heated and applied on the surface of metal to prevent corrosion.
3. Metal galvanization where a non reacting metal is used to prevent a reacting metal from environmental factors leading to corrosion.
4. Spraying of plastic, waxes and oil on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey there,

Following are the different ways you can use to prevent corrosion of metals;

Metals do not corrode if they have a layer of other material that prevents them from coming in contact with the environment. Paint can be that layer . Metals can also be sprayed with waxes and plastics to protect them from going under oxidation reaction.  Metals can be prevented by using non meal coatings over them through the galvanizing method. another method of preventing metals can be using powders over them which consist of epoxy, nylon, and urethane which are heated and applied on the surface of metal .

Thanks for asking.
