What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Chemicals that

easily evaporate at room temperature.


What are solvents? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Substances that dissolve other substances to

form a solution.


Why can solvents in coatings be harmful? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Because they can

release VOCs into the air.


What are some examples of solvents used in coatings? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Acetone,

toluene, xylene, and ethyl acetate.

What are three commonly used galvanic anodes for carbon steel? - 🧠ANSWER

✔✔Zinc, Aluminum, and Magnesium

,What is the effect of temperature on corrosion rate? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Decrease in

temperature decreases corrosion rate.


What is an electrolyte? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A medium that carries ionic current.


What is sacrificial coating? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A type of coating that becomes the

anode of an electrochemical cell.


What is the role of binders in coating? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Binders form a stable film

that retains its properties.


What is a barrier coating? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A coating that interrupts the

electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

What are two environments most susceptible to corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER

✔✔Marine Environment, Chemical with High Humidity Environment


What is the direction of electron flow in an oxidation reaction? - 🧠ANSWER

✔✔From the anode to the cathode through the metallic path.


What is the role of binders? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Binders bonds pigments together and

adhere to surface.

,What are solvents? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Solvents are liquids that dissolve the solid

resins.


What is the purpose of pigments? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Pigments hide the substrates,

provide decorative color, and enhance desired properties.


What are additives? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Additives are special purpose ingredients

used to enhance the performance.


What are vehicles? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Vehicles are the liquid portions of the

coating.


What is corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Deterioration of metal or alloy due to

electrochemical reaction.


What is passivation? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Layer of oxides on metal surface for

corrosion protection.


Give an example of a metal that undergoes passivation. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Stainless

steel


What is an anode? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The electrode where oxidation occurs.


What is a cathode? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The electrode where reduction occurs.

, What is a metallic pathway? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The conductive path for electrons to

flow.


What are electrolytes? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Substances that conduct electricity when

dissolved in water.


What is the function of an electrolyte in corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Allows

passage of ions in corrosion cell.


What is the function of a metallic pathway in corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Allows

flow of electrons in corrosion cell.


What is the galvanic series? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Listing of metals in order of

reactivity.


What is the general rule of the galvanic series? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Less noble metal

connected to a more noble metal will corrode preferentially.


What is localized corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Corrosion that occurs in specific

areas.


What are the types of localized corrosion? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Pitting and crevice

corrosion.
