2. Cathodic protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection

   Cathodic protection (CP; / kæˈθɒdɪk / ⓘ) 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. Phosphate conversion coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_conversion_coating

   Phosphate conversion coating. Phosphate conversion coating is a chemical treatment applied to steel parts that creates a thin adhering layer of iron, zinc, or manganese phosphates to improve corrosion resistance or lubrication or as a foundation for subsequent coatings or painting. [1][2][3] It is one of the most common types of conversion ...

4. 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 ...

5. Corrosion engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_engineering

   Corrosion prevention measures, including Cathodic protection, designing to prevent corrosion and coating of structures fall within the regime of corrosion engineering. However, corrosion science and engineering go hand-in-hand and they cannot be separated: it is a permanent marriage to produce new and better methods of protection from time to time.

6. 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 ...

7. Hot-dip galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-dip_galvanization

   Hot-dip galvanization is a form of galvanization. It is the process of coating iron and steel with zinc, which alloys with the surface of the base metal when immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F). When exposed to the atmosphere, the pure zinc (Zn) reacts with oxygen (O 2) to form zinc oxide ...
