Corrosion issues plague all manufacturing processes, particularly those involving metal substrates for the high technology, medical and industrial markets. It affects many metals including steel, copper, brass, aluminum, magnesium and others. Corrosion of metal parts often is a very costly problem and can cause necessary reprocessing of parts to remove corrosion, scrapping of large volumes of parts and part rejection by customers.
