Corrosion Prevention
Rust Prevention

In the case of metallic objects corrosion may be defined as an electrochemical process which affects in most cases the aesthetics and longevity of an object. The mechanism is based on anode and cathode reactions in an electrolyte. Corrosion takes place at the anode with the release of hydrogen gas or the formation of hydroxyl ions at the cathode. These hydroxyl ions may react with metal ions dissolved at the anode and form metal hydroxides or hydrated oxides. If these are insoluble they will deposit as a passive layer on the metal surface and may reduce the rate of corrosion as in the case of stainless steels.

The main technique available for reducing corrosion is to eliminate the electrolyte, either by:
- Drying out the environment; e.g. reducing the humidity to below 35% can virtually eliminate corrosion of mild steel.
- Providing a barrier between the metal and the electrolyte by passivating or providing a protective anti-corrosion coating.
