Corrosion Protection

The Automotive Steel Partners has another publication that could be helpful to those of you who deal with corrosion to steel elements. Of you have inadequate corrosion protection you either receive corroded parts, or you ship them.


The publication brings together basic corrosion conditions, materials, coatings, manufacturing processes, design considerations, test methods and “lessons learned”.

Four types of corrosion are relevant to underbody structural components: crevice, pitting, galvanic and cosmetic.


The document is focused on automotive applications, but is a great resource for useful knowledge about various coatings and definitions. The focus is on the design engineer, but I think the plant needs to be as aware of the requirements and testing for steel parts so that the long term processes are properly focused.
