A Tool to Calculate Corrosion-Related Costs

摘要

Alarge percentage of a generating facility's budget is often dedicated to maintenance of steel structures, repairing or replacing steel because of corrosion. The use of hot-dip galvanized steel is already widely endorsed in the distribution and transmission sectors largely because there are little or no maintenancerncosts for 60 to 80 years, which usually exceedsrnthe planned useful life.
