Well built steel and metal structures look so magnificent and awesome as they grace the the skyline proudly. However, they face an invisible, relentless enemy: corrosion. Corrosion, caused by the deadly combination of extreme heat, high coastal humidity, and airborne salt particles wreaks havoc on the metal structures, especially if they are not treated properly. Every metal asset in your building—from high-rise structural elements to industrial machinery endures costly premature failure.
This is why surface finishing on the metal is so very important, and this is not a mere cosmetic option; this is an important aspect in metal fabrication. Metal fabrication in Dubai services by reputed providers creates a barrier that determines a project’s success and lifespan. Sudu Industrial is one such provider, and they have already created a mark in the industry by providing certified, durable corrosion protection solutions They integrate this solution directly with their state-of-the-art metal cutting machine Dubai's services.
What is the reason for so much corrosion in Dubai?
Corrosion is a negative effect of living in areas where there is so much humidity, accompanied by the desert climate. Corrosion happens when iron in steel reacts with oxygen and moisture. Check out the main reasons that accelerate this process:
- Coastal effect: Salt spray from the Arabian Gulf can travel for miles and it settles on all objects and forms a thin, corrosive brine film on metal surfaces.
- High Humidity: Humidity can affect metal surface stays causing electrochemical reactions, and eventually, rust
- Temperature Fluctuation: The intense heat and the desert climate of Dubai contributes to a faster chemical reaction rate. This leads to a"slow decay" causing structural threats to your structure.
- Abrasive Sand: This causes physical degradation of materials and destroys the protective coating.
- Intense UV Rays: This breaks down paint polymers leading to the following problems: chalking, fading, brittleness, and flaking.
