Hi, Oshari. Of all of the thousands of different methods of preventing corrosion, from painting to powder coating to plating to PVD, to cryogenic processes to VCI to simple oiling, etc., the vast majority are applied to mild steel. So it's going to be difficult to pick one method. But mild steel is rarely left unpainted. Is this corroded steel unpainted, and why? Thanks.
