metalprotected
Metalprotected is a term used to describe techniques and technologies aimed at preserving metal surfaces from degradation such as corrosion, wear, and oxidation. In practice, metalprotected approaches encompass coatings, surface treatments, inhibitors, and design strategies that collectively extend service life and reduce maintenance needs across various industries.
Protective coatings are central to metalprotected strategies. These include organic coatings such as epoxies and polyurethanes,
Newer developments in metalprotected practice include smart and self-healing coatings, which autonomously repair microcracks after damage,
Applications span automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, energy, and electronics sectors, where protection of steel, aluminum, copper,
