Corrosion poses a significant threat to the integrity and longevity of structures and machinery, resulting in billions spent annually on repairs and component replacements worldwide. The harmful effects of corrosion stem from the gradual degradation of materials due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with the environment. In response, technologically sound design principles play a crucial role in combating corrosion, with an emphasis on proactive measures for effective corrosion protection. The central thesis of this graduation paper delves into the importance of integrating corrosion protection strategies during the initial design phase of structures and equipment. It emphasizes the necessity of selecting appropriate structural and contsruction methods, technical materials and coatings that reduce the risk of corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan and reliability of structures. In the experimental part of the paper, the possibilities of reducing the risk of water tank corrosion through changes in structural and technological solutions were explored. Based on specific examples, it was shown how such changes can affect corrosion resistance, and all proposed changes were visualized using the CAD software "Onshape". By prioritizing technologically sound design principles focused on corrosion protection, industries can significantly reduce maintenance costs, improve safety, and ensure sustainable infrastructure for future generations. This graduation thesis has been carefully composed using previously gathered knowledge and referencing many other books and papers. Existing knowledge has been combined with information from various cited sources to reach a thorough understanding of the topic discussed in this thesis.
