  2. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    There are several ways of reducing and preventing this form of corrosion: Electrically insulate the two metals from each other. If they are not in electrical contact, no galvanic coupling will occur. This can be achieved by using non-conductive materials between metals of different electropotential.

  3. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Cathodic protection (CP; / k æ ˈ θ ɒ d ɪ k / ⓘ) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. [1] A simple method of protection connects the metal to be protected to a more easily corroded "sacrificial metal" to act as the anode. The sacrificial metal then corrodes ...

  4. Sacrificial metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificial_metal

    Many steel objects are coated with a layer of zinc, which is more electronegative than iron, and thus oxidises in preference to the iron, preventing the iron from rusting. [4] Similarly, sacrificial bars of a metal such as aluminium or aluminium alloys can be attached to an oil rig or to the hull of a ship to prevent it from rusting and ...

  5. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    In brief, corrosion is a chemical reaction occurring by an electrochemical mechanism (a redox reaction). [1] During corrosion of iron or steel there are two reactions, oxidation (equation 1), where electrons leave the metal (and the metal dissolves, i.e. actual loss of metal results) and reduction, where the electrons are used to convert oxygen and water to hydroxide ions (equation 2): [2]

  6. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanization (also spelled galvanisation) [1] is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. The most common method is hot-dip galvanizing, in which the parts are coated by submerging them in a bath of hot, molten zinc. [citation needed]

  7. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    This method was adopted by larger firearm companies for large scale, more economical bluing. It does provide good rust resistance, which is improved with oil. "Rust bluing" and "fume bluing" provide the best rust and corrosion resistance as the process continually converts any metal that is capable of rusting into magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). Treating ...

  8. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion of an aluminium plate occurred when the plate was connected to a mild steel structural support.. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals have physical or electrical contact with each other and are immersed in a common electrolyte, or when the same metal is exposed to electrolyte with different concentrations.

  9. Copper sheathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_sheathing

    Unprotected copper would quickly go from a reddish color to a greenish color of corrosion. [18] When the other metals were mixed with copper in ratios from 1:40 to 1:150, there was no visible sign of corrosion and minimal weight loss. [18] When the ratio was changed to 1:200 and 1:400, there was significant corrosion and weight loss.
