Cor-Pro Systems Inc. is the leading company in providing fast and high quality steel corrosion protection in Houston, TX and other areas in the Gulf Coast.
Steel is one of the most common types of alloy used in many industries. Light, durable, and tractile, steel has the widest range of applications.
However, steel is also prone to a lot of corrosive agents such as air, soil, and water. Without proper steel corrosion management, industries can lose billions and may face other repercussions such as personnel injury and environmental damage.

Steel Corrosion Basic Information
Like many other forms of corrosion, steel corrosion is an electrochemical process that occurs in multiple stages. The presence of air and water near steel surfaces paves way for ferrous ions to go to the solution, which in turn creates ferric oxide, which is more commonly known as red rust.
Once rusting occurs on the surface, further oxidation starts on the deeper layers of steel structures. Over a period of time, the damage in the entire layer of steel becomes uniform with the surface. Once it is no longer possible for the iron in the steel to release more electrons, the process of rusting is complete and the corrosion has fully damaged the structure.
However, companies can avoid corrosion by keeping both water and air from their steel-based equipments. With the help of corrosion protection practices, steel corrosion is mitigated and the process is retarded for a long time.
Steel Corrosion Management Practices
Steel corrosion is unavoidable, but there are ways to retard the rate of corrosion for a long time through best methods and practices. Among the steel corrosion best practices offered by Cor-Pro are:
- Cathodic protection. By using more electrically charged alloy near the protected equipment, this method diverts the attention of the corrosive agents to itself until it completely degrades. Cathodic protection is commonly used in underground pipelines and marine transport industry.
- Corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion inhibitors are chemicals added to equipment to form a thin layer of protection against corrosion catalysts. These additives can be added even when the machine to be protected is operating.
- Coatings. Coating is the easiest way to protect your equipment. Coating materials such as epoxy, urethane, and zinc can add an extra layer of defense to your facilities with proper application and curing.
- Abrasive blasting. Abrasive blasting uses a high-velocity machine that propels medium to a surface of a material. With this, you can control the damage brought by corrosion and prepare it for anti-corrosion materials application.
