Anti-Corrosion coatings are extensively applied in maintenance and vehicles used by transportation agencies, which have been used to protect a substrate by providing a barrier between the metal and its environment outside, especially in a chloride-laden environments. In order to provide adequate corrosion protection, the coatings must be uniform, well adhered, pore free and self-healing for applications where physical damage to the coating may occur. The aim of this review is to examine the state of the corrosion coatings for the protection of various metals/alloys commonly used in maintenance equipment and vehicles, and to identify cost effective, high-performance corrosion inhibitors that may contribute to the preservation of equipment assets. The focus is placed on the metallic corrosion induced or aggravated by chlorides at ambient temperature and pressure, and near neutral pH (6-8).
