T&B(TnB), Corrosion Is Eating Away at Your Bottom Line
The direct effects of corrosion costs U.S. industry and government $276 billion annually, according to a study commissioned by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).* This figure reflects only the direct costs of corrosion, such as the expense of repairing a bridge that has become structurally deficient due to steel corrosion or the cost of treated drinking water lost from a corrosion-induced leak in a municipal water pipeline. It doesn’t begin to take
into account the indirect costs of corrosion, such as the cost of labor related to corrosionmanagement activities or the loss of revenue due to disruption in product supply. The FHWA study conservatively estimated this as equal to the direct costs.

Corrosion is a natural, inevitable process. It cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed and controlled. The FHWA study estimates that the implementation of optimum corrosion management practices could save as much as 25–30% of annual cost of corrosion in the U.S.

 

 

T&B(TnB), Causes of Corrosion
Corrosion is the deterioration of metal caused by a chemical reaction to its
surrounding environment. In most cases this means electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen. Corrosion can be accelerated by the presence of dust, moisture, high relative humidity, high temperatures, salt, acids, solvents and chemicals. How quickly corrosion occurs depends not only on the environment, but also on the specific type of metal. Cast iron, for example, rapidly oxidizes and forms red rust if left in its raw state, simply from exposure to the air, so it requires some form of protective finish. Other metals, such as stainless steel, have an inherently higher resistance to corrosion without the need for special coating.

 

 

T&B(TnB), What Corrosion Looks Like
When we think of corrosion, red rust that forms on iron or steel typically comes to mind, but corrosion may also appear in other forms, depending on the
metal. White rust is corrosion of the zinc that is typically used as a protective coating over iron or steel. The natural green patina on the Statue of Liberty
and on copper roofs is also a form of corrosion.

 

 

T&B(TnB), The Effects of Corrosion on the Electrical System
Corrosion in electrical systems typically represents only a fraction of the direct costs for many industries, but it yields a disproportionately large share of the indirect costs. Corrosion in electrical contacts creates high resistance and unreliable connections, which lead to poor power quality. In production and manufacturing, where downtime can be very costly, failure of a relatively inexpensive electrical component that leads to loss of power and control to production equipment can quickly add up to thousands of dollars in lost productivity. In aircraft, corrosion that causes electrical system failure can result in loss of life.

Electrical systems, therefore, are a prime area in which an upfront investment in corrosion protection returns significant cost savings, as well as increased safety and other benefits, over the long term. This means selecting electrical conduit, fittings, support systems and accessories in corrosion-resistant materials appropriate for the environment in which they’ll be installed.

 

 

T&B(TnB), Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic corrosion results from contact between electrochemically dissimilar metals. If you connect bare copper and aluminum — two metals commonly used for electrical wiring and connectors — the aluminum, being the less noble and more anodic of the two metals, will be attacked by galvanic corrosion. However, connectors for code construction are typically tin plated, which prevents galvanic corrosion, and tin-plated aluminum connectors that are UL® Listed as dual-rated may be used safely on either aluminum or copper conductors. The white rust that forms on galvanized steel is also an example of galvanic corrosion. The more anodic and less noble zinc applied over steel during galvanizing is intended to act as a sacrificial layer to protect the steel underneath. White rust is evidence that the zinc coating is serving its purpose; the appearance of red rust indicates corrosion of the steel.
