What Is Corrosion and Why Does VpCI® Help?

What Is Corrosion? Corrosion is an electrochemical process that seeks to return refined metals to their natural state. For example, steel is made from iron ore containing iron oxides (aka, a natural form of rust). To turn iron ore into steel, energy (e.g., intense heat) must be added to convert it into a useful state.

Practical Engineering - You Spend More on Rust Than Gasoline (Probably), 02082022

The colossal cost of a simple chemical reaction! Metals are so necessary and important to modern society that we’ll never escape the problem of corrosion, but the field of corrosion engineering continues to advance so that we can learn more about how to manage it and mitigate its incredible cost

Practical Engineering - These Metals Sacrifice Themselves to Prevent Rust, 06092022

An overview of cathodic protection and rust prevention Making a structure last as long as possible before it needs to be replaced isn’t just good stewardship of resources. It’s a way to keep the public safe and prevent environmental disasters too. Corrosion is one of the number one ways that infrastructure deteriorates over time, so cathodic protection systems are an essential tool for keeping the constructed environment safe and sound
