When corrosion is treated as a maintenance issue instead of an engineering risk, steel structures start losing thickness, coating integrity, and load-bearing confidence much earlier than owners expected. AMPP and NACE-linked corrosion studies estimate the global cost of corrosion at about $2.5 trillion, or roughly 3.4% of global GDP, and note that existing corrosion control […]
