CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC) - Continued
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.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use of
keywords such as "corrosion," "rust," "deterioration," or "cracking" will ensure that the information is identified as a
CPC problem.
