Corrosion Part Four
Corrosion Prevention Options
The difference between stainless steel wedge anchors and carbon steel (i.e. zinc plated and hot-dipped galvanized wedge anchors) is the amount of chromium present. Carbon steel will rust when exposed to moisture and air. The rust, or iron oxide film, is very active and will accelerate corrosion by forming even more iron oxide. Sufficient amounts of chromium present on stainless steel provide a film of chromium oxide that prevents corrosion from spreading.
Hot dipped galvanized wedge anchors are anchors that have been coated with zinc through a method of galvanizing iron or steel by passing it through a bath of molten zinc. This process is done in order to prevent galvanic corrosion. Hot dipping steel is a procedure that has been done for more than 150 years in order to create a physical barrier for the exposed steel. Hot dipped galvanized wedge anchors are often preferred over stainless steel because of their lower cost.
Oil rigs in the sea is a highly corrosive environment. Be sure to choose products that provide the right kind of protection.
