Abstract

Corrosion generally a means fragments and becomes unusable through the loss of its properties in its environment. All metals except the noble metals such as Au, Pt, Ir and Pd corrode quickly depending on their environment. Corrosion has been observed in all areas of industry. Decreases in industrial production through the breakdown of corroded devices, an understanding that corroded products are extremely harmful in terms of human health and environment and accelerated rate of using underground mineral deposits increases the importance of corrosion. Mixers, tanks and pipes used in the production of glue and shipment tanks used in the shipment of glue are generally made of stainless steel. In this study, the effect of corrosion by phenol and melamine formaldehyde glues which are indicated as the most commonly used glues in the forest industry, on stainless steel (AISI 316L) is determined and discussed through the electrochemical impedance method (EIS) which is one of the methods of measuring corrosion. Phenol formaldehyde glue was found to be more corrosive than melamine formaldehyde glue.Keywords: Phenol formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, corrosion, stainless steel (AISI 316L)
