Rust corrosion prevention

Rust corrosion prevention involves protecting metal surfaces from reacting with moisture and oxygen, which cause rust. Common methods include applying barriers like paint, powder coatings, or oil that block moisture contact. Galvanization coats the metal with a layer of zinc, which prevents rust and even offers sacrificial protection if scratched. Additionally, using corrosion-resistant alloys or adding rust inhibitors can slow the process. Proper maintenance, such as regular cleaning and inspections, also helps detect and address early signs of corrosion, extending the metal's lifespan and maintaining safety and functionality.
