Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion resistance refers to a material's ability to maintain its physical and chemical properties when exposed to certain corrosive environments. There are many factors that can influence a material's corrosion resistance, such as the type of material, the composition of the environment, temperature and pressure.

Corrosion resistance is an important factor when selecting materials for industrial, construction and manufacturing applications where the material may come into contact with corrosive environments such as water, acids, bases or salt solutions. Some materials are more corrosion resistant than others and can last longer in certain environments without significant damage.
