Understanding Corrosion Chapter 3 Corrosion in Urban Settings

As the use of stainless steel in urban infrastructure continues to grow, a concerning pattern is emerging—avoidable corrosion is appearing in installations designed to be long-lasting and low maintenance. Why is this happening? In this steelTalk, we take a close look at the key corrosion types commonly found in urban environments and explore the straightforward practices that can prevent them. From street furniture to people-mover systems and protective structures, stainless steel offers both durability and visual appeal—but only when correctly specified and maintained. Drawing on real-world examples, this session will also explain how subtle environmental differences between urban locations influence corrosion mechanisms, offering engineers, designers, and city planners a clearer understanding of what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to corrosion prevention in the cityscape.
