CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
CPC of Army material 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. Corrosion
specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. t 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. Plastics, com-
posites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen), salvation (sol-
vents), 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. SF 368, PQDR should be sub-
mitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, Functional Users Manual for the Army Maintenance Management
System (TAMMS).
