Information on rust and corrosion

From Wikipedia

“Corrosion means the breaking down of essential properties in a material due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. In the most common use of the word, this means a loss of electrons of metals reacting with water and oxygen. Weakening of iron due to oxidation of the iron atoms is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion. This is commonly known as rusting.”

THE PROBLEM:

It is estimated that corrosion costs American Industry $350 BILLION dollars per year. This cost is ultimately passed on to consumers. Corrosion is not only unsightly; it can damage the structural integrity of metal parts. For highly machined metal parts, even a small amount of corrosion can render the parts unusable. Your customers may reject your parts and return them to you for scrap or re-work. This process is not only costly in terms of money, but also in terms of your company’s reputation. Traditional corrosion inhibiting oils and greases are not only costly, messy, and harmful to the environment, but when your customers receive their parts, the oils and greases require removal. Often, the removal of these oils requires the use of solvents, and of course, additional labor. These solvents are also hazardous to the environment, and hazardous to employees’ health.
