2. Galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanization

   Rusted corrugated steel roof. Galvanized steel can last for many decades if other supplementary measures are maintained, such as paint coatings and additional sacrificial anodes. Corrosion in non-salty environments is caused mainly by levels of sulfur dioxide in the air. [10]

3. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

   Using the same metal for all construction is the easiest way of matching potentials. Electroplating or other plating can also help. This tends to use more noble metals that resist corrosion better. Chrome, nickel, silver and gold can all be used. Galvanizing with zinc protects the steel base metal by sacrificial anodic action.

4. Hot-dip galvanization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot-dip_galvanization

   Hot-dip galvanized steel strip (also sometimes loosely referred to as galvanized iron) is extensively used for applications requiring the strength of steel combined with the resistance to corrosion of zinc, such as roofing and walling, safety barriers, handrails, consumer appliances and automotive body parts.

5. Pickling (metal) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickling_(metal)

   Pickling is a metal surface treatment used to remove impurities, such as stains, inorganic contaminants, and rust or scale from ferrous metals, copper, precious metals and aluminium alloys. [1] A solution called pickle liquor , which usually contains acid , is used to remove the surface impurities.

6. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

   Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

   You can find stainless steel scratch remover kits at your nearest hardware store, or you can use the following steps with fine-grit sandpaper. Wet the sandpaper. Wrap the wet sandpaper around a ...

8. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

   Stainless steel, also known as "inox steel" does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Pierre Berthier , a Frenchman, was the first to notice the rust-resistant properties of mixing chromium with alloys in 1821, which led to new metal treating and metallurgy processes, and eventually the creation of usable stainless steel.

9. Zinc flake coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_flake_coating

   Zinc flake coatings create what is known as cathodic protection: the less noble zinc 'sacrifices' itself in order to protect the underlying metal. Steel can be protected in this way. The coating thickness is often between 5 μm and 15 μm, with thicker layers also possible where there are special requirements.
