As explored in ScienceDirect’s article, “Atmospheric Corrosion of Carbon and Galvanized Steel Under High Rainfall Conditions,” a study analyzed the corrosion behavior of carbon and galvanized steel in high-rainfall environments, particularly in Colombia’s Chocó department. The research focused on pollutant contamination, atmospheric aggressiveness, and metal degradation over an 18-month period across three different locations: Quibdó, Andagoya, and Bahía Solano.

Findings revealed that high precipitation levels significantly accelerate corrosion by influencing time of wetness (TOW) and pollutant exposure. Carbon steel exhibited an initial formation of hematite, which later transitioned to lepidocrocite…

As reported by The Piping Mart Blog in their article “Aluminium vs. Steel: Choosing the Right Material for Your Project,” material selection plays a pivotal role in construction and fabrication projects. Steel and aluminum each offer distinct advantages, with their suitability depending on factors such as strength, weight, and durability.

Strength and Durability
Steel is renowned for its immense strength, making it an excellent choice for projects that demand load-bearing capacity, such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial frameworks. Aluminum, while strong for its weight, excels in applications where weight reduction is essential, such as aerospace and…
