| Tin is less reactive than the metal it covers, protecting the underlying metal from corrosion. |
| The aluminum alloy combines the properties of machinability, corrosion resistance, strength and brazeability. |
| For example, abrasives can damage the protective surfaces of instruments, contribute to corrosion, and impede sterilization. |
| If both hot and cold water are affected, probably the aerator is congested with rust and corrosion. |
| Since beryllium-nickel alloys resist corrosion by salt water, they are used in marine engine parts. |
| Produced from a combination of polymers and metallic alloys, it is highly corrosion resistant and almost maintenance free. |
