ABSTRACT
Although most structural steelwork is protected from corrosion by coatings, other control methods are also adopted, in particular cathodic protection which is considered below. Methods such as inhibition, water treatment and air conditioning are used in special circumstances and reference is also made to these in this chapter. The other system of controlling corrosion without the use of coatings is to employ low-alloy weathering steels; these steels are also discussed in this chapter.
