What is CORROSION?
Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals ) by chemical reaction with their environment. It's a
1. The act of process of corroding
2. The condition produce by corroding
3. The substance such as rust, formed by corroding
Many structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in air, but the process can be
strongly affected by exposure to certain substances. Corrosion can be
concentrated locally to form a pit or crack, or it can extend across a wide area more or less uniformly
corroding the surface. Because corrosion is a diffusion-controlled
process, it occurs on exposed surfaces. As a result, methods to reduce
the activity of the exposed surface, such as pasivation and chromate conversion, can increase a material's corrosion resistance. However, some corrosion mechanisms are less visible and less predictable.
Cost of CORROSION.
The cost of corrosion can be defined in
different ways depending on what is included and who is affected.
In past studies, different definitions of the cost of corrosion
have been used, and have therefore arrived at different estimates.
In the current study, the total direct corrosion cost for each
sector was estimated and major components contributing to this
cost were analysed. In addition, preventative strategies for corrosion
control were described for the individual sectors.
The annual cost of corrosion consists of both
direct costs and indirect costs. The direct costs related to
corrosion are made up of two main components:
1. The costs of design, manufacturing,
and construction:
- material selection, such as stainless steel
to replace carbon steel,
- additional material, such as increased wall
thickness for corrosion allowance,
- material used to mitigate or prevent corrosion,
such as coatings, sealants, corrosion inhibitors, and cathodic
protection, and
- application, including the cost of labour and
equipment.
2. The cost of management:
- corrosion-related inspection,
- corrosion-related maintenance,
- repairs due to corrosion,
- replacement of corroded parts,
- inventory of backup components,
- rehabilitation, and
- loss of productive time.
Indirect costs are incurred by others than just
the owners or operators of the structure. Measuring and determining
the value of indirect costs are generally complex assessments;
however, several methods, such as risk-based analyses, can be
used to evaluate these costs. Owners and operators can be made
to assume the costs through taxing, penalties, litigations, or
paying for clean up of spilled product. Once assigned a dollar value, the indirect costs
are included in the cash flow of the corrosion management of the
structure and treated in the same manner as all other costs.
