CORROSION

A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO CORROSION AND ITS CONTROL CORROSION OF METALS AND ITS PREVENTION WHAT IS CORROSION Corrosion is the deterioration of materials by chemical interaction with their environment. The term corrosion is sometimes also applied to the degradation of plastics, concrete and wood, but generally refers to metals. The most widely used metal is iron (usually as steel) and the following discussion is mainly related to its corrosion.

Corrosion may be defined as the destruction or deterioration in properties of materials by interaction with their environments. It is a natural phenomenon. Engineers generally consider corrosion when dealing with metallic materials. However, the process affects all sorts of materials, for example, ceramics, plastics, rubber etc. Rusting of iron and steel is the most common example of corrosion. Swelling in plastics, hardening of rubber, deterioration of paint, and fluxing of the ceramic lining of a furnace are all incidences of corrosion in non metallic materials. Metallurgists may think of corrosion as reverse extractive metallurgy. Metals are extracted from their compounds occurring in nature through extractive metallurgy processes involving considerable expenditure of energy, natural resources, time, and man power. Corrosion works to convert the metal I back into the same compounds.

In this paper the analysis of the corrosion basic types destructions on an example of buildings constructions is carried out and the basic requirements to materials for designs in construction are defined. A classification of corrosion damage is proposed, which became a prerequisite for selecting the main indicators of materials that maximally affect the quality and durability. The main methods for determining the main indicators of corrosion damage are identified.
