Abstract

Research on Corrosion Cell

Jack Lee

corrosion cell is like a tiny battery. It has an anode, cathode, electrolyte and a path of current. Eliminate any one of these “ Corrosion Components ” and the corrosion process is interrupted. Nearly all current corrosion inhibitors designed to prevent corrosion by placing a thick film coating of oil, wax, paint, grease, etc. over the metal surface which separates it from the atmosphere. The problem with this approach is that since none of the “corrosion components” are eliminated, corrosion continues to grow, often under the film coating where it can't be seen until the problem becomes severe.
