CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion
problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the
problem in future items.
Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is
commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage in
metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking.
Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), solvation
(solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or light. Damage
from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.
SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, Functional
User’s Manual for the Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS).
