Description
Steel is one of the prevalent metals used in many applications; however, steel corrosion and its
severe deterioration are associated with temperature, pressure, and atmospheric climate change.
The steel failure from pitting evolution results in high cost and manufacturing flaws due to
design error and extreme environmental conditions. Several preventive measures have often been
adopted to resist this failure. This paper reviews the challenges of materials in application as
relates to structural deformation, corrosion, and mechanical failure. The impact of new inhibitive
activities for engineering component advances was ascertained. The review concluded that
failure of engineering materials regardless of the manufacturing flaws can be addressed through
component proper design and physiochemical activities of extracts with responsive ions. It also
elucidates that metallic steel protection against sudden failure depends on the nature of surface
preparation and stress initiation at the surfaces. The different progression through which
corrosion occurs and the methods for mitigation were established in this work.
