TYPES OF RUST
Corrosion and more specifically, Rust, is caused by one of three
general factors:
• Process Related – whether it is the Cleaning Process, the Metal
Fabrication process such as cold working, Heat Treating or
Machining or the handling process, this aspect of producing a
metal part is a primary contributor of corrosion. Much of what
is seen in terms of corrosion problems, happen inside the
Manufacturing plant before it’s even Packaged. With so many
variables inside of a manufacturing setting, maintaining tight
control of your processes is critical to preventing Rust.
• Packaging Related – the type of packaging used to package
metal parts is important. Acidic materials such as Corrugated
and non-treated Paper can hold Moisture and cause Corrosion.
Sometimes in a companies’ desire to fix a corrosion problem
they add more packaging, when in fact the additional
packaging can contribute even more to the rust problem.
• Environmental – while the weather (Temperature and
Humidity) can certainly be the most obvious Environmental
Factor, other things such as Contaminants in the Air pose equal
areas of Concern.
