If left untreated, metal corrosion can affect a business from both economic and structural integrity standpoints. Sarah Medeiros, Corrosion Engineer at SIFCO ASC, discusses developments in R&D to help slow down the corrosion process.
Conversion coatings imbue metals with special properties. These treatments are generally straightforward and open up a plethora of new applications. However, because of the chemical nature of the process, there are caveats to conversion coating that are important to understand.
When corrosion (rust) attacks your metal, the structural integrity will eventually fail. This can lead to injuries and even death. This article shares some global examples.
With its new EcoShield® VpCI®-386 HT Slip Coating, Cortec® has developed a coating that helps to keep the inside of electrical conduits from rusting while providing enough slip for electrical wires to pass through.
