Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand damage caused by environmental factors like moisture, oxygen, or chemicals that can cause it to deteriorate over time. For example, stainless steel resists rusting because of its special alloy composition, which forms a protective layer that prevents further corrosion. This property is important because it helps maintain the strength, appearance, and longevity of objects and structures exposed to potentially damaging conditions, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring safety and durability.
