The importance of corrosion control

Direct damage from corrosion

Corrosion of metals is one of the main factors determining the reliability and durability of machinery and equipment. Corrosion damage can be direct and indirect. Direct damage includes the material cost of purchasing new products, the cost of protective measures and irrecoverable metal losses due to corrosion. According to estimates of some experts, irrecoverable metal losses worldwide now amount to 10-15% of the total volume of manufactured steel.

Indirect losses

Indirect losses occur as a result of leaks, contamination of the target product with corrosive particles, reduced productivity of machines and mechanisms , etc. In order to compensate for the loss of metal, the metallurgical industry has to expend considerable capacity. But even these figures do not fully reflect the real damage that is associated with the failure of metal products. Significant losses are caused by equipment downtime, accidents, waste and losses during metal processing, and product quality violations, which ultimately increases the cost of production and reduces labor productivity. Therefore, the prerequisites for improving the efficiency of production and product quality - is the alloying of metal, as well as special anti-corrosive coatings products.
