Most of the
times, you might have come across metals in your home or anywhere else, that
tend to lose their luster or get covered with a blackish brown colored layer.
This blackish brown layer that covers the surface of the metals is
Corrosion. For the general integrity and aesthetics of the building,
avoidance of corrosion on structural steel is important. Here we will clarify
the role of the anti corrosion protection service and describe techniques and coating processes to
ensure that structural steel is safe from corrosion for decades to come.
What is corrosion?
Corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical
reaction between a substance and its environment that allows the material and
its properties to deteriorate. The stresses presented by climatic, biotic and
chemical factors are relatively slight in this situation. Machines are located
in factory sheds, for instance, and are hence insulated from significant
temperature variations, which are also the source of condensation. But before
it causes an issue, it is possible to delay, control, or avoid corrosion.
The key aim
of the methods for corrosion safety
is to provide protection in the area of use. Any of the metals we use are
malleable, solid and ductile in our day to day lives. So, when we use these
metals, they get exposed to the environment. With the passage of time, they
lose their shine and get covered with a colored layer on them. Some of
these metals even lose their strength and become breakable or weak.
Different methods to prevent corrosion
There are a
number of ways to protect the metals
from corrosion. Here we’ll discuss some of the most commonly used methods.
Galvanizing coating
In almost
every application and industry where iron or mild steel is used, galvanization
can be used. It provides outstanding ageing & weathering resistance combined with chemical resistance and is used
under the most violent environments to protect the metal components &
structure. It gives anti-corrosion properties if a metal is galvanised. Metal will stay exposed to the
various components without the use of protective zinc coating, and oxidise and
corrode easily.
Zinc Rich Coating
In most
environments, zinc has outstanding corrosion resistance due to its effective
application as a protective coating on a range of items and in multiple
exposure conditions. This proven corrosion resistance is a result of zincs ability to form dense, adherent
corrosion byproducts, which leads to a rate of corrosion considerably lower
than ferrous materials 10 to 100 times slower, depending on the environment.
Protective Coating
This type of
coatings can provide a layer of protection against corrosion by acting as a
physical barrier between the metal parts and oxidizing elements in the
environment. Protective coatings are
paints and powder coating also, with proper application, a protective
powder coating can seal the surface of the part away from the environment to
guard against corrosion. These coatings are handled with care during
installation and if damaged are repaired to ensure they are as durable as
planned.
Cathodic Protection
By applying
an opposite electric current to the metal's surface, it is possible to resist
corrosion. An impressed current, using an outside path of electrical current to
overwhelm a corrosive current in the component, is one form of cathodic safety.
The method of cathodic corrosion
protection is the use of a sacrificial anode. This includes adding to the
component you want to shield a thin, reactive metal. Metal ions can flow to the
less active component of the reactive metal, reducing corrosion at the expense
of the smaller portion.
