Description
The ability of a metal to resist chemical changes due to oxidation. Corrosion resistance can be increased by coating the metal surface with paint, oxide layers, passive films or 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
