Abstract:

Corrosion can be viewed as a universal phenomenon, omnipresent and omnipotent. It is present everywhere, air, water, soil and in every environment, we encounter. Corrosion has a huge economic and environmental impact on all facets of national infrastructure; from highways, bridges, buildings, oil and gas, chemical processing, water and waste water treatment and virtually on all metallic objects in use. Other than material loss, corrosion interferes with human safety, disrupts industrial operations and poses danger to environment. Awareness to corrosion and adaptation of timely and appropriate control measures hold the key in the abatement of corrosion failures. This paper presents a perfect combination of well established strategies for control and minimization of different types of corrosion in various industries.

Keywords:

Corrosion, Types of corrosion, Corrosion Remedial measures.
