  2. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains iron with chromium and other elements such as molybdenum, carbon, nickel and nitrogen depending on its specific use and cost. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results ...

  3. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    Galvanic corrosion. Corrosion of an iron nail wrapped in bright copper wire, showing cathodic protection of copper; a ferroxyl indicator solution shows colored chemical indications of two types of ions diffusing through a moist agar medium. Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) is an electrochemical ...

  4. Galvanic anode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_anode

    Galvanic anode. The bright rectangular objects on these ship components are galvanic anodes. A galvanic anode, or sacrificial anode, is the main component of a galvanic cathodic protection system used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from corrosion. They are made from a metal alloy with a more "active" voltage (more negative ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion

    v. t. e. Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and preventing corrosion. [1][2]

  9. Anodizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

    Sealing Type III will improve corrosion resistance at the cost of reducing abrasion resistance. Sealing will reduce this greatly. Standards for thin (Soft/Standard) sulfuric anodizing are given by MIL-A-8625 Types II and IIB, AMS 2471 (undyed), and AMS 2472 (dyed), BS EN ISO 12373/1 (decorative), BS 3987 (Architectural).
