The Greatest Challenge in Corrosion Prevention and Control is Apathy

The Greatest Challenge in Corrosion Prevention and Control is Apathy

At this very moment the equipment, infrastructure and facilities of this nation and of the Department of Defense (DoD) are under attack by a known enemy. This enemy has the ability to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The damage, degradation, and deterioration caused by this enemy doesn’t happen overnight; it usually happens over an extended period of time and is often visible to us during the process. That enemy is corrosion!

At this very moment the equipment, infrastructure and facilities of this nation and of the Department of Defense (DoD) are under attack by a known enemy. This enemy has the ability to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The damage, degradation, and deterioration caused by this enemy doesn’t happen overnight; it usually happens over an extended period of time and is often visible to us during the process. That enemy is corrosion! We can prevent or control this enemy for some indefinite time, but eventually, the process of corrosion will win out. It has been estimated that corrosion costs the US approximately $1 trillion dollars a year, which is approximately 6 percent of the US gross domestic product (GDP). Preventing and controlling corrosion requires the use of resources (time, people, money, energy). Prevention and control of corrosion requires a timely response to prevent or correct the damage done or it can affect the availability of the asset for our use and to avoid injuries, lost time, or loss of life.

Often times, protective coatings for equipment and packages come as an afterthought; therefore, a Coatings Specialist is not always included in early purchasing discussions. Lack of the Coating Specialist participation in the preliminary workflow does not necessarily equate directly to a “bad outcome”, however there are fundamental details which, if highlighted early, can make a significant difference in the procurement process resulting in cost savings and competitive bids.

When protective coatings are considered for application work, normal uses such as concrete coating, waterproofing, abrasion protection; steel corrosion protection; and other protective applications are the norm. However, there is a whole world of other uses for protective coatings including personal protection applications. The reality is that coating systems are being used for a variety of government, military, police and personal protection applications with excellent results.

It is well known that corrosion has a significant impact on sustainment, system costs, and system availability to the warfighter. Mitigating such impacts is one of the greatest drivers to DoD Science &Technology (S&T) requirements and therefore research programs.
