Quantitative Measures of Corrosion and Prevention: Application to Corrosion in Agriculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The corrosion protection factor (c.p.f.) and the corrosion condition (cc.) are simple instruments for the study and evaluation of the contribution and efficiency of several methods of corrosion prevention and control. The application of c.p.f. and cc. to corrosion and prevention in agriculture in The Netherlands is considered in detail. Attention is paid to relations between c.p.f. and c.c., the corrosion costs, possible cost savings and the applied corrosion protection scheme on farms. It is shown that the c.p.f. and the c.c.. are useful expedients in a preliminary analysis of corrosion costs and possible cost savings on farms in relation to the corrosion protection methods applied. It is concluded that significant cost savings on arable farms can be derived by improving corrosion protection. No statistically significant cost savings are possible by improving corrosion protection on the dairy farms considered in this research.

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in an aging highway infrastructure is a major problem currently facing the transportation engineering community, in particular bridge engineers. In the United States, maintenance and replacement costs are measured in billions of dollars. Further, the use of deicing salts has resulted in steady deterioration of bridge decks due to corrosion. These concerns ha...

The idea of smart inhibitors is based on the principle that an inhibitor is used where needed. This will reduce the use of inhibitors and protect materials in hostile environments. On the other hand, direct addition of the inhibitor within the coating can be harmful, resulting in the loss of inhibitors ability, deterioration in the coating or both of them. An appropriate method for solving thes...
