According to the study “Corrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United States”, corrosion has a great financial impact in the United States infrastructure, transportation to production, and manufacturing. The study covered the determination of the economic impact of corrosion, among other things.

Damages and More

Corrosion is a natural process that deteriorates materials, and can result in costly damages and dangerous situations if not taken care of. Unlike other natural hazards, corrosion can be controlled.

Corrosion can be prevented by a number of ways. Corrosion inhibitors are a substance, that when added, it reverses some of the corrosion damage and prevents it as well.

According to the study, the direct cost of metallic corrosion is close to $276 billion annually. Elements included in these costs were:

• Cost of corrosion management activities.
• Loss of reliability cost
• Loss of assets due to deterioration.

Costs of corrosion cannot be eliminated completely. However, they can be reduced. With the correct maintenance, costs of corrosion in the U.S.¬–which is close to 30%– can be saved.
