  2. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

    Cathodic protection (CP; / kæˈθÉ’dɪk / ⓘ) 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 instead ...

  3. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Wrought iron. Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron (III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron (III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO (OH), Fe (OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.

  4. Galvanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

    Galvanization. Galvanized surface with visible spangle. Galvanization or galvanizing (also spelled galvanisation or galvanising) [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 ...

  5. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

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

    Bluing (steel) Bluing, sometimes spelled as blueing, is a passivation process in which steel is partially protected against rust using a black oxide coating. It is named after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish. Bluing involves an electrochemical conversion coating resulting from an oxidizing chemical reaction with ...

  6. Weathering steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel

    Weathering steel, often referred to by the genericised trademark COR-TEN steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as corten steel, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting by forming a stable external layer of rust. U.S. Steel (USS) holds the registered trademark on the name COR-TEN. [ 1 ]

  7. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. Cathodic protection systems are most commonly used to protect steel pipelines and tanks; steel pier piles, ships, and offshore oil platforms.
