    This document provides a corrosion table for steel and aluminium substrates in various internal and external environments. It assigns a corrosion class from C1 to C5M based on factors like pollution level, proximity to coastlines, humidity, and presence of condensation. For each class and material, it recommends surface preparation methods like degreasing, blasting, or shot blasting as well as corrosion protection coatings and their minimum thicknesses. It also outlines Powdertech's pre-treatment process stages for aluminium and galvanized steel, which involve cleaning, rinsing, and applying chrome-free conversion coatings.
