About Corrosion
Most metals in nature exist in form of compounds (oxides) since they are stable in this form. Metals that can be used in daily life and industrial applications are produced by changing the form of these compounds using external energy. This process requires energy, knowledge and appropriate materials. Once the form of metals change they become unstable since production processes infuse external energy and unstable metals try to return to their stable compound form.

About Cathodic Protection
In contrast to coating of pipes in order to prevent corrosion, cathodic protection directly interfere with the ongoing electro chemical process of corrosion. For cathodic protection electrons provided from main source or galvanic cells are send to protected structure and the potential of metal is decreased. The intensity of cathodic protection current which will force metal to behave like a cathode depends on bare (uncoated) portion of pipeline and electrolytic environmentâs (soil) resistivity.
