Type Of Corrosion

Isn’t it disheartening to witness your property that you spent millions on being attacked by the supreme enemy of the industry- CORROSION? Corrosion is the number ONE antagonist that has been disrupting the smooth flow of businesses in Malaysia. Are you facing a similar dilemma? If yes, then it’s definitely the right time to stop worrying about it because we handle all types of corrosion pertaining to industrial facilities. But, before you seek the help of the experts, be sure to know the ‘gene’ of your enemy. In order to identify it, you will obviously need to know of all the existing types of corrosion that may corrode your industrial assets.

The 3 most fundamental types of corrosion are the uniform attack, galvanic corrosion, and crevice corrosion. The uniform attack is also commonly known as the general corrosion. It has been the most prevalent form of corrosion in the industry sector and it takes place under various conditions. This type of corrosive attack is a localized electrolytic action that is preceded by a chemical or electrochemical activity which will eventually corrode almost the entire exposed surface of metal uniformly. Secondly, the galvanic corrosion is a corrosion that occurs when two different metals come into contact in the presence of a corrosive electrolyte. But, how is it possible? In this case, the galvanic differences play an important role, that is, the greater the divergence of the metals from each other in the galvanic series, the greater the corrosion effect is on the metals. Finally, the crevice corrosion is another type of corrosion. It is a form of corrosion that happens within crevices and other cloistered areas on metal surfaces when it is exposed to corrosives. This is true especially when a small volume of solution gets stagnated due to holes, lap joints, crevices under bolt and rivet heads.
