Korrosion ist der stille Feind von Metallteilen – sie führt dazu, dass starke Bauteile verrostet werden, mit der Zeit nutzlose Reste. Von Küchenutensilien bis hin zu Luft- und Raumfahrtmotoren, Jedes Metallteil braucht Schutz. Die gute Nachricht? By matching the rightpost-treatment anti-corrosion solution to your part type, Sie können die Lebensdauer verdoppeln oder sogar verdreifachen. Dieser Leitfaden bricht zusammen 17 gängige Metallteile, explains why they’re prone to corrosion, and shares proven post-treatment methods (backed by real cases and cost data) to keep them strong.

Erste: Why Post-Treatment Matters for Metal Parts

Before diving into specific parts, let’s clarify why post-treatment is non-negotiable:

  • Natural corrosion: Metals like steel, Aluminium, and copper react with water, Luft, or chemicals to form oxides (z.B., rust on iron). This process starts within weeks of exposure.
  • Environment risk: Parts in wet (z.B., marine equipment), chemisch (z.B., lab tools), or high-heat (z.B., Motorteile) environments corrode 3–5x faster.
  • Kosteneinsparungen: A 2023 study by the World Corrosion Organization found that post-treatment cuts corrosion-related replacement costs by 60%. For a $10,000 batch of parts, that’s $6,000 gespeichert.

Post-treatment works by adding a protective layer (z.B., oxide film, metal coating) that blocks corrosive media from touching the base metal. The key is choosing the right solution for your part’s material and use case.

17 Metal Parts & Their Tailored Anti-Corrosion Solutions

Below are 17 gängige Metallteile, organized by industry. For each, we’ll cover: what it is, why it corrodes, the best post-treatment, and a real-world example.

1. Automobil: Engine Brackets (Steel/Stainless Steel)

  • What it does: Holds engine components in place—exposed to oil, Wasser, and high heat (bis 150°C).
  • Corrosion risk: Oil breaks down protective films; water from road spray causes rust.
  • Best post-treatment: Pulverbeschichtung
    • How it works: Applies a dry powder (polyester or epoxy) that’s baked onto the surface, forming a 50–100μm thick, chip-resistant layer.
    • Kosten: $5–$10 per bracket.
  • Fallstudie: A car manufacturer switched from paint to powder coating for 10,000 steel engine brackets. The brackets’ lifespan increased from 3 Jahre bis 7 Jahre, and warranty claims dropped by 45%.

2. Automobil: Exhaust Pipes (Stainless Steel 316L)

  • What it does: Carries exhaust gases—exposed to extreme heat (bis 600°C) und Feuchtigkeit.
  • Corrosion risk: High heat breaks down thin coatings; moisture mixes with exhaust chemicals to form acids.

Yigu Technology’s Perspective on Metal Part Anti-Corrosion

Bei Yigu Technology, we tailor anti-corrosion solutions to each part’s material and use case—no one-size-fits-all. Für Aluminiumteile (z.B., Fahrradrahmen), we recommend Type II anodizing for cost-effectiveness. For stainless steel medical tools, electropolishing ensures biocompatibility and rust resistance. For marine parts (z.B., anchor chains), hot-dip galvanizing is our go-to for long-term saltwater protection. We also test post-treated parts in simulated environments (salt spray, hohe Hitze) to guarantee performance. Our goal is simple: help clients extend part lifespan, cut replacement costs, and avoid corrosion-related failures.
