Metal’s worst enemy is rust. And because Navy ships, Air Force’s jets and Army’s tanks are made of metal, rust has become a long-time enemy of the Department of Defense. And believe it or not, it has been costing the government $23 billion every year to fight it.
Approximately, the DOD estimates that the cost of fighting the metallic corrosion will reach to $114.5 billion in the next five years. For such a nuisance, rust is surely high-costing.
Worse than the knowledge that it could cost so much is the fact that it is something inevitable. As rust happens when metal is exposed to water or moisture, it is very hard to control. That is especially true in the case of national security equipments as they are often used on different conditions wherein they are almost always exposed to water or moist air.
To avoid the worse that rust can cause, the military set up a CorrDefense agency specializing in hunting down rust wherever it may appear. Additionally, the US Navy annually holds a MegaRust conference to advance the techniques to get rid of rust.
While the DOD has a special rust removal unit and holds conferences to fight, what do you do to protect your home from the metallic corrosion?

Navy ships, invades the crevices of Air Force jets and costs the Defense Department $23 billion a year. It’s not a clandestine agent or biological weapon. In fact, it’s in your home right now.
It’s rust.
Apparently, rust is pretty expensive (and ugly). Fighting corrosion costs over 3 percent of the national GDP, or about $1,000 per person per year. The Defense Department estimates that it will spend $114.5 billion over the next five years on the nasty nuisance.
It’s a problem because corrosion happens to anything exposed to weather — old things in particular. Which means that all those Cold-War-era jets, tankers and bombers are hit especially hard. For the bulk of this ancient fleet – built before any of its current pilots were even born – that corrosion is only getting worse. Since the Pentagon and Congress haven’t gotten their act together to replace these clunkers, they – and the rust – may stick around for a while.
