| Sumario: | Based on the standpoint of the environment, corrosion is an environmental occurrence that is required to maintain the natural balance. From the engineer’s standpoint, this natural balance is observed as a damaging natural attack on a metal by an electrochemical reaction. This natural attack has various types such as uniform, crevice or pitting corrosion and it results in severe material loss, which contributes to lost production and increased maintenance, repair, and replacement costs, as well as restoration costs. Hence, prevention of corrosion is quite significant for metal to be applied in an offshore platform. |
