Corrosion is a complex process which results in the deterioration of various metals due to reactions with other metals and the environment.
There are a number of factors which contribute to corrosion in the parts and components of heavy-use machinery, vehicles and equipment. These factors include:
In industries such as manufacturing, construction, mining, shipping and logistics, where heavy-use machinery and equipment are central to day-to-day business activities, it is vital to have a strategy to control and mitigate the risks from corrosion. Controlling these risks to machinery and equipment can minimise downtime, save money and reduce maintenance requirements, increase productivity and ensure safe operation for workers.
