Corrosion of Steel, Aluminum and Copper in Electrical Applications By: Alex Mak, P. Eng. - Senior Field Applications Engineer, General Cable Executive Summary Why Metals Corrode Corrosion, typically dei ned as the deterioration of metals To reduce it to simplest possible terms, corrosion is really through the combined actions of oxygen, other metals nothing more than the inherent tendency of metals to revert and salts, has a major impact on industrial economies. But from a processed, metallic state to their more natural state, despite the damage it does, and the seriousness of the issue which we commonly call “ore”. in economic terms, awareness of ways corrosion can be controlled is in surprisingly short supply. Most metals, with the exception of precious metals, such as gold and platinum, do not occur in metal form in nature – they In the United States, Japan, Great Britain and Australia, studies exist as ore. When ore is processed into metal, the rei ning of the economics of corrosion have indicated that its cost to the process transfers its latent energy to the ore. It is the taking economy runs in the vicinity of 3-4 per cent of Gross National on of this latent energy that transforms ore into metal, but by Product. taking on this energy, the metal elevates to a higher energy state, which means it also becomes less thermodynamically Further, in a world where businesses are looking for ways to stable
