Anticorrosive performance of paints in accelerated tests

Corrosion of metallic materials, especially carbon steel, is a major problem, as it occurs frequently in a wide variety of activities, such as the chemical, oil and gas, construction and automotive industries, among others. The economic losses incurred by these activities are enormous, which is why it is necessary to study in depth and use methods that can combat corrosion of metallic material. The most common way to combat corrosion is to paint the part, using paints that are basically composed of resin, solvents and additives, forming a protective layer on the metal surface. The general aim of this project is to develop low-cost chambers for accelerated testing and to study the anti-corrosion protection offered by anti-corrosion paints available on the market, applying them to combat corrosion in metallic material.
