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:
- Vapor phase corrosion inhibitor: provides a corrosion resistant layer on the surface
- Scavenger: removes pollutants and/or moisture and oxygen from the airs
- Desiccant: removes moisture from the air
Synonyms and Related Terms
Korrosionbestândigkeit (Deut.); résistance à la corrosion (Fr.); corrosion inhibitor
