🧬 The Science of Corrosion: Why Do Metals Degrade?
In nature, almost all metals (including iron) are not found in their pure state, but combined with other elements in the form of minerals. This happens because the combined state is energetically more stable.
When we transform these minerals into metal products, they spontaneously tend to return to their original state upon contact with the external environment. This degenerative process is known as corrosion.
What is corrosion? It is a spontaneous chemical change that degrades the metal, reducing both the functional efficiency and the structural integrity of the component.
🛡️ Prevention and Integrity: The Choice of Coating
To limit the damage caused by corrosion and maintain the effectiveness of products over time, good mechanical design is not enough. A careful choice of materials and protective coatings is essential.
An adequate coating must:
- Meet the functional requirements of its use.
- Withstand specific interactions with the environment (humidity, salinity, chemical agents).
- Guarantee long-term aesthetic and structural integrity.
