Preventing erosion of metals
Description
Preventing erosion of metals involves implementing protective measures to reduce or eliminate the loss of metal surfaces due to mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical actions. Essential strategies include applying protective coatings, using corrosion-resistant alloys, employing cathodic protection, and controlling environmental factors such as moisture and acidity. These actions aim to extend the lifespan of metal structures, minimize maintenance costs, and prevent structural failures caused by progressive material degradation.
