ACIVE CORROSION
PROTECTION
• The aim of active corrosion protection is to
influence the reactions which proceed during
corrosion, it being possible to control not only the
package contents and the corrosive agent but also
the reaction itself in such a manner that corrosion
is avoided.
.• Examples of such an approach are the
development of corrosion-resistant
alloys.
PERMANENT CORROSION
PROTECTION
• The purpose of permanent corrosion protection
methods is mainly to provide protection at the
place of use. The stresses presented by climatic,
biotic & chemical factors are relatively slight in
this situation.
• For example, in factories shed are
protected from extreme variations in
temperature, which is frequently the
cause of condensation.
