Description

The ability of a metal to resist chemical changes due to oxidation. Corrosion resistance can be increased by coating the metal surface with Oil, Wax, Paint, Oxide layers, passive films, a more noble metal (plating), anti-corrosion treatments, or by controlling its exposure environment.

Some materials that can be used to inhibit Corrosion include:

Some anticorrosion treatments include:

Anodizing Formation of protective oxide layer; immersion in electrolytic solution Non-ferrous metals, primarily aluminum Long-lasting, chemically stable,, non-toxic, no dangerous by-products Unsuitable for ferrous metals; limited options for colors
Galvanizing Immersion of metal in molten zinc bath to produce protective zinc carbonate layer Steel, bolts and nuts, air ducts, trash cans Highly stable, adheres tightly; zinc coating actively covers scratches, cuts and dents after they occur Expensive for large items; color is dull gray
