 ABSTRACT

Corrosion is a deterioration of materials due to chemical

reaction with the environment. It is reverse extractive
metallurgy, which is dependent on temperature and
concentration of environment. Other factors such as
stress and erosion also affect the corrosion rate.
This article is limited on reviewing
different types of corrosion prevention methods such as
cathodic protection, coating, corrosion inhibitors,
environmental modifications, metal selection and
surface conditions, natural modifications and plating.

INTRODUCTION
Corrosion is caused by chemical reaction amongst
metal and the air in the surrounding condition. By
removing the metal from, or changing, the kind of
condition, metal degradation can be quickly diminished.
This might be as straight forward as preventing the
contact with rain or sea water by putting away metal
materials inside or could be as immediate control of the
environment affecting the metal.
Suggesting to lessen the sulphur, chloride or oxygen
content in the surrounding condition can restrain the
speed of metal corrosion.
For instance, feed water for water boilers can be treated
with conditioners or another chemical medium to alter
the hardness, alkalinity or oxygen content keeping in
mind the end goal to lessen corrosion on the inside unit.
CORROSION PREVENTION
METHODS :
METAL SELECTION AND SURFACE
CONDITIONS:
No metal is insusceptible to corrosion to
corrosion in all situations, yet through checking and
understanding the natural conditions that are the reason
for corrosion, changes to the kind of metal being
utilized can also prompt note worthy reduction in
corrosion.
Metal corrosion protection statistics
can be utilized as a part of the mix with data on the
natural conditions to settle on choices in regards to the
appropriateness of each metal.
The advancement of new compounds,
intended to secure against is always under assembly.
Monitoring of surface conditions is
additionally important in shielding against metal
degrading from corrosion.asperous surfaces,cracks,or
crevices whether a result of operational necessity,wear
and tear,or production flaws,all can result in higher rates
of corrosion.
CATHODIC PROTECTION :
Galvanic corrosion happens when two
unique metals are placed together in a corrosion
electrolyte.
This a typical issue for metals submerged
together in sea water, yet can likewise happen when two
unique metals are drenched in closely in soggy
soils.Therefore,galvanic corrosion regularly assaults
send bodies, seaward apparatuses, and oil and gas
pipelines.
Cathodic protection can take two forms. The
first is the presentation of galvanic anodes. This
technique, known as a conciliatory form, utilizes metal
anodes, acquainted with the electrolytic condition, two
forfeit themselves (erode) as to secure the cathode.
While the metal requiring protection can
differ ,conciliatory anodes are by and large made of
zinc, aluminium or magnesium, metals that have most
negative electropotential.Gives an examination of the
distinctive electro potential or integrity of metals and
amalgams.
CORROSION INHIBITORS :
Corrosion inhibitors are chemicals that respond with the
metals surface or the ecological gases causing
corrosion, consequently, intruding on the compound.
Inhibitors can work by
adsorbing themselves on the metals surface and framing
defensive film. These chemicals can be connected as an
answer or as a defensive covert ing through scattering
systems.

COATINGS :
Paints and other natural coatings are utilize to shield
metals from the degradative impact of ecological
gasses. Coatings are assembled by the sort of polymer
utilized. Regular natural coatings include :
 Powder coatings
 High- strong coatings
 Water-solvent coatings
 Two part urethane coatings
 Vinyl, acrylic or styrene polymer blend latex
coatings
 Both acrylic and epoxy polymer radiation reparable
coatings.
PLATING :
Metallic coatings, or plating, can be
connected to hinder corrosion and also give stylish,
embellishing wraps up. There are four regular sorts of
metallic coatings.
Electroplating: A thin layer of metal frequently nickel,
tin, or chromium is kept on the substrate metal in an
electrolytic shower. The electrolyte, for the most part,
comprises of a water arrangement containing salts of
the metal to be kept.
Mechanical plating: Metal powder can be chilly welded
to a substrate metal by tumbling the part, alongside the
powder and glass dabs, in a treated watery arrangement.
Electroless: A covering metal, for example, cobalt or
nickel, is stored on the substrate metal utilising a
synthetic response in this non-electric plating technique.
Hot plunging: When submerged in a liquid shower of
the defensive, covering metal a thin layer holds fast to
the substrate metal.
CONCLSION :
These are the corrosion
preventions techniques which are used to protect a
metal from damaging which is due to corrosion.
