Material Selections For Corrosive Applications

The best way to stop corrosion damage is to avoid it all together.  By using the proper types of materials you can avoid most types of corrosion for the life of the process, structure or equipment.  Of course, there is a cost benefit analysis necessary when applying the most corrosive resistant materials.  Determining exactly where the costs of an advanced material out weigh the benefits of using lesser materials with a proper coating system is where CCC can be of valuable assistance.
