zone?
A:Problem in the splash zone include growth of algae, never dries properly; water is
anelectolytic solution promoting corrosion plus added impurities.

Q4:What is mill scale and why is it a particular problem when attempting to protectsteel?A:Mill
scale is formed during steel making and is a thin layer of oxidised iron, whichloosely adheres to
the surface and if painted over will flake off causing prematurebreakdown of the caoting; mill
