CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
0001 00
1.
CPC of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so
that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items.
2.
Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is
commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage in
metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking.
3.
Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), solva-
tion (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or light.
Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.
4.
SF Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report, should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8,
TAMMS Users Manual.
