One of the factors that influences the lifespan of products iscorrosion. Corrosion and its negative effects are often discussed in education, but processes toprevent or reduce corrosion are rarely integrated into laboratory classes. A good understanding ofcorrosion-prevention techniques is critical for being prepared for careers in the manufacturingindustry and its related fields.
