Introduction:
Corrosion is a pervasive and costly problem that affects various industries worldwide, leading to significant economic losses, safety hazards, and environmental concerns. In response to this challenge, corrosion control strategies are implemented to mitigate corrosion and preserve the integrity of metal assets. Among these strategies, corrosion inhibitors and protective coatings stand out as effective measures for preventing corrosion and extending the lifespan of metal structures and equipment. This article delves into the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors and protective coatings as corrosion control strategies, examining their mechanisms, applications, and impact on asset protection.
