Common industries affected by corrosion

Corrosion of metals can happen in various industries. Corrosion causes metals to not have their previous performance and, in some industries, this is very dangerous. Therefore, checking the corrosion of metals is very important in the equipment monitoring. Here’s a list of industries in which corrosion are commonly occur:

• Transportation pipelines: Pipeline is mainly used for oil and gas transportation, and corrosion occurs on both the inside and outside of any pipe.
• Ship: Because of the environment in which they operate, ships are among the structures most vulnerable to environmental corrosion. Seawater is a very corrosive environment due to the salt it contains.
• Railway: In the long days of wind and sun, rails will be rusting, which will undoubtedly cause certain safety hazards.
• Boilers: Boiler corrosion generally occurs when the alkalinity of the boiler water is low or when the metal is exposed to oxygenated water, it can cause deep holes in the metal cladding.
• bridge maintenance: On bridges, corrosion is most often caused when steel is exposed to atmospheric conditions, such as salt, moisture, and oxygen
• electric pole: Corrosion begins to consume a transmission tower or pole, especially in humid weather.
