The final thesis titled "Protection of infantry weapons by volatile corrosion inhibitors" consists of theoretical and experimental part. In the theoretical part of this paper, terms corrosion and corrosion classification are defined, followed by pictures and examples that explain the effects of different types of corrosion. The corrosion protection methods are described and explained as well as inhibitor protection method which is elaborated thoroughly. The experimental part is composed of two parts: 1. Efficiency test of an inhibitor in an emulsion intended to protect weapons when stored 2. Effectiveness test of the protection of impregnated inhibitors in polyethylene foil intended for the protection of weapons when stored Electrochemical methods were applied for the test of efficacy inhibitors, as well as protective coating testing and evaluation of the presence of VCI inhibitors in polyethylene foil in accordance with NACE TM028 - 2008 (VIA test, Vapor inhibiting ability). The test results show that volatile corrosion inhibitors can be successfully applied to the protection of metal parts of the weapon.
