Topic on internal corrosion protection (third week of October)
Thread Content
As the market economy weakens, many companies are facing problems of insufficient revenue to cover expenses; in severe cases, they even have to suspend production or close down. Phrases such as \"restructuring jobs and reducing staff to improve efficiency\" appear frequently in various documents and communications. Faced with such realities, many companies are working to reduce losses and improve efficiency, as well as pursuing innovative development. In such an environment, the task of corrosion prevention, which is usually carried out by external professionals, has been shifted to in-house personnel in order to save costs. This raises the question: \"Is corrosion prevention carried out by in-house non-professionals more effective in saving costs?\" This week’s topic: Under the current circumstances, how does your company carry out anti-corrosion efforts? What are your thoughts on anti-corrosion measures for non-professionals within an organization? Is anti-corrosion for ordinary non-professionals more cost-effective? We welcome everyone to actively participate in the discussions. [Collection of Essential Knowledge for the Mechanical Forum] http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1389197-1-1.html Topics for each week and daily questions are being sought (prizes available for participation) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1373282-1-1.html Summary post of weekly topics: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1404940-1-1.html
In the current environment, the anti-corrosion work in our company is carried out by professional construction teams as well as internal staff; generally, new installations and renovated installations are handled by professional construction teams. Normal maintenance and repairs are carried out by our own staff. Anti-corrosion measures carried out by internal non-professionals can actually meet the standards as well, but the progress is slow. But it is cheaper than professional anti-corrosion methods.
Hehe, what I’ve seen is that the internal anti-corrosion treatment is not done professionally. Moreover, since the people responsible for anti-corrosion work have other tasks to carry out, the so-called anti-corrosion treatment simply involves applying paint. No matter how thick the rust layer is, all that needs to be done is apply paint over it. As a result, a lot of material is used for each anti-corrosion treatment, yet the effect is poor. What’s more, it’s possible to see that the paint applied in layers gradually peels off after it dries; therefore, such painting has to be done many times a year.

Yes, this phenomenon did occur at first, but now we work on a piece-rate basis and there’s also a deadline, so everyone pays closer attention to their work. This is also related to the requirements and assessments in place.

It’s better to leave this kind of work to professionals; trying to save a little money will end up costing more in terms of resources and effort
Hehe, this is a comprehensive issue; generally speaking, whether anti-corrosion measures are effective or not cannot be determined in the short term. Secondly, corrosion prevention is not critical; it does not cause major problems or failures. So, adjust according to the market conditions: use more professional approaches in places with strict management, and just go with the flow in those with lax management
Corrosion protection is not simply about applying paint; painting also requires skill (otherwise the thickness will be uneven and the appearance will be unsightly)； Our anti-corrosion work has always been carried out by professional teams; those who work for us simply apply some markings or something similar!
Generally, professional teams are responsible for anti-corrosion work; only the rates are adjusted
It is not recommended that non-professionals carry out anti-corrosion and insulation work; a failed anti-corrosion effort can result in irreparable losses, which is not worth it for a business. From a cost-benefit perspective, hiring a professional team is likely to be more economical and safer!
Let professionals handle professional tasks; those within the organization have limited capabilities in terms of preventing corruption, and the effectiveness of such measures is also poor
