Corrosion Protection

For corrosion resistant coatings DECC utilizes both barrier and sacrificial types of engineered coatings which fuse to the metal substrate in order to provide added protection against salt, chemical, and high temperature corrosive environments.

Barrier coatings provide a consistent film that prevents external elements from penetrating to the substrate.

Sacrificial coatings contain certain elements, such as aluminum or zinc, which oxidize sacrificially to ensure that the substrate remains corrosion free.

The salt spray resistant coatings, some which meet up to 1000 plus hours of resistance, can also prevent galvanic corrosion when dissimilar metals are in contact with each other.

There are various types of corrosion caused by environmental conditions as well as manmade conditions.

• Corrosion protection coatings can help aid in the life and function of parts that would otherwise prematurely fail.
• Some corrosion resistant coatings have additional attributes such as lubricity, and antifriction.
• These qualities can help increase performance, reduce load, and add to fuel economy.
• Equipment required for such program is in existence at DECC and can provide a low cost solution.
• Corrosion protection coatings perform well in corrosive environments needed to generate energy. Alternative energy coatings are chemical and temperature resistant.
