What are the methods of steel pipe anti-corrosion? Detailed explanationPosted by BAOWI STEEL MANUFACTURING CO.,LTD on August 8th, 2024 Detailed explanation of the forms and advantages of steel pipe anti-corrosion Steel pipe is a common and important material in many industrial and construction applications. However, due to the diversity and complexity of its use environment, steel pipe is vulnerable to corrosion. In order to extend the service life of steel pipes and ensure their stable performance, it is crucial to take effective anti-corrosion measures. Below we will introduce several common forms of steel pipe anti-corrosion and their advantages in detail. Coating anti-corrosion is a widely used steel pipe anti-corrosion method. Common coating materials include epoxy resin, polyethylene, polyurethane, etc. 1. Epoxy resin coating Epoxy resin coating has excellent adhesion, chemical corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. It can effectively prevent corrosive media from penetrating into the surface of steel pipes and provide long-term protection. In addition, epoxy resin coating also has good insulation properties and is suitable for some occasions that require electrical performance. 2. Polyethylene coating Polyethylene coating has excellent water resistance, low temperature resistance and impact resistance. It can maintain good protection under harsh environmental conditions, especially for steel pipes that are in wet soil for a long time, such as buried pipelines. Polyurethane coating has the advantages of high hardness, good wear resistance and good flexibility. It can adapt to the deformation and vibration of steel pipes during use, while providing good anti-corrosion protection. 2. Galvanizing anti-corrosion Galvanizing is to immerse the steel pipe in molten zinc liquid to form a layer of zinc coating on its surface. The advantage of galvanizing anti-corrosion is that the electrochemical activity of zinc is higher than that of iron. When the zinc coating on the surface of the steel pipe is locally damaged, zinc will be corroded preferentially as an anode, thereby protecting the steel pipe matrix from corrosion. In addition, the galvanized layer also has good appearance decoration and certain wear resistance. 3. Cathodic protection anti-corrosion Cathode protection is to apply an impressed current or sacrificial anode to the steel pipe to make it a cathode, thereby inhibiting the corrosion of the steel pipe. 1. Impressed current cathodic protection This method can accurately control the size and distribution of the protection current as needed, and is suitable for large steel pipe structures and long-distance pipeline systems. 2. Sacrificial anode cathodic protection Sacrificial anodes usually use active metals such as magnesium and zinc, which will dissolve preferentially during the corrosion process to provide protection for the steel pipe. The sacrificial anode cathodic protection system is easy to install and has low maintenance costs. Composite anti-corrosion is to combine two or more of the above anti-corrosion methods to achieve better anti-corrosion effects. In short, different forms of steel pipe anti-corrosion have their own advantages and scope of application. In practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the use environment, expected life, and cost of the steel pipe to select the most appropriate anti-corrosion method. Through effective anti-corrosion treatment, the service life of the steel pipe can be significantly extended, maintenance costs can be reduced, and the safety and stable operation of the project can be guaranteed.
