Corrosion: How Can We Prevent It?

At its core is electrochemistry — the movement of electrons and ions that can slowly change metal when it interacts with its environment. Rust is one familiar example, but corrosion takes many forms.

What you may not have known is that there is an entire global industry built around controlling it.

Corrosion can be managed in many ways, including coatings, material selection, chemical treatment, monitoring, inspection, maintenance, and specialized electrical methods.

And one of the ways to control it is a method called CATHODIC PROTECTION.
