Increasing of Corrosion Resistance for Metal Products of Livestock Premises

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to identify and analyze the causes of corrosion destruction of metal products, used in conditions of animal keeping on farms of the agro-industrial complex, and to find effective methods of combating it. In order to increase corrosion resistance of metal products of livestock farms and complexes, it is proposed to use the developed preparation, which has fungicidal and anticorrosive properties simultaneously. The rate of metal products corrosion during the experiment was evaluated by the museum strain of Aspergillus niger fungi. The article describes the causes of fungal corrosion, the principle of its effect on metals; proposes an inhibitor of complex action for the control of electrochemical and bio-corrosion. The protection efficiency of metal products by the inhibitor was evaluated by the corrosion braking coefficient and the degree of protection. The effect of inhibitor concentration on the rate of low carbon steel bio-corrosion has been studied. It has been proven that the rate of corrosion processes decreased by 50 times, when exposed to a medium, contaminated with fungus spores, on metal samples treated with an inhibitor.
