Inhibiting metal corrosion: Identifying common causes of metal degradation is the key to developing and employing preventive measures

SummaryCorrosion may be costly or catastrophic, but it should not be a necessary evil. Cost savings can be obtained by reducing part rejects through use of inhibition practices. Elimination or control of the corrosion process will prevent part failure that otherwise could have catastrophic effects.With the help of your chemical supplier, best practices and optimum chemical selection can be made. The use of automatic proportioning devices, control practices, and process optimization can increase production quality and improve profits.
