It slowly attacks metals everywhereโ€”from bridges and ships to cars, pipelines, buildings, and even tiny bolts inside machines. In this episode, we explore the invisible war engineers fight against corrosion, and how something as simple as oxygen and water can gradually destroy massive infrastructure if left unchecked. This episode dives into materials science, chemistry, electrochemistry, civil engineering, protective coatings, corrosion prevention systems, metallurgy, infrastructure maintenance, and industrial design. We explore how engineers use paint systems, galvanization, stainless steel, cathodic protection, and advanced coatings to slow or stop rust, and why corrosion costs the global economy billions every year. If you enjoy engineering, materials science, infrastructure, and the hidden processes shaping the built world, this episode is for you.
