Coating metals with corrosion-resistant materials is a widely utilized technique to enhance the durability and lifespan of metallic structures and components exposed to harsh environmental conditions. The corrosion of metals, particularly steel and aluminum, can lead to significant degradation, affecting their structural integrity and increasing maintenance costs. This paper explores various methods for applying corrosion-resistant coatings, including galvanizing, anodizing, electroplating, and the use of polymer coatings. The choice of coating material, such as zinc, chromium, nickel, or polymer-based substances, depends on factors like environmental exposure, mechanical properties, and economic considerations.
