The purpose of galvanization is to protect the underlying metal from corrosion. |
The need for improvement in the weldability and corrosion resistance of these alloys resulted in the second-generation alloys. |
Tin is less reactive than the metal it covers, protecting the underlying metal from corrosion. |
Produced from a combination of polymers and metallic alloys, it is highly corrosion resistant and almost maintenance free. |
For example, abrasives can damage the protective surfaces of instruments, contribute to corrosion, and impede sterilization. |
The lightweight, cellulose-reinforced cement board withstands high winds and corrosion. |
