1. Exercise
Information about metal corrosion protection

Corrosion is the deterioration of a metal as a result of chemical reactions between it and the
surrounding environment. Both the type of metal and the environmental conditions,
particularly gasses that are in contact with the metal, determine the form and rate of
deterioration.There are several protections of metal from corrosion.

2. General information
Do All Metals Corrode?

All metals can corrode. Some, like pure iron, corrode quickly. Stainless steel, however, which
combines iron and other alloys, is slower to corrode and is therefore used more frequently.

Types of Corrosion

1. General Attack Corrosion: This very common form of corrosion attacks the
entire surface of a metal structure. It is caused by chemical or electrochemical
reactions. While general attack corrosion can cause a metal to fail, it is also a
known and predictable issue. As a result, it is possible to plan for and manage
general attack corrosion.

2. Galvanic Corrosion: This can occur when two different metals are located
together in a liquid electrolyte such as salt water. In essence,one metal's
molecules are drawn toward the other metal, leading to corrosion in only one
of the two metals.
 3. Environmental Cracking: When environmental conditions are stressful enough,
some metal can begin to crack, fatigue, or become brittle and weakened.

Modern protection of Metals from corrosion is based on the following methods:

● increase of chemical resistance of structural materials;

● insulation of metal surface from aggressive environment;
● reducing the aggressiveness of the production environment;
● reduction of corrosion by applying external current (electrochemical
protection).

3. Exercise (full)
During exercise we did following processes.
We took photos of different metals such as (aluminum, steel,copper and etc.)
As you can see below it had different thickness. We did it by special tester. It gave us
different numbers for all metals.
Also we tested moisture of wood by hydrometer.
We tested the wood from the dry side to the wet side.
It gave (16,13,10,9,5,0,6,9,5,10,5,5,23) and on the wet side it was “oL” which means
more than 40%.
 4. Conclusion
Overall, there are special methods to protect metals from corrosion.

This experiment was very useful for us. We learned a lot about metal corrosion and
learned how to protect metal from corrosion.We got acquainted with the apparatus that
tests the moisture content of wood.
