for each type of metal and their corrosion behaviors are also different. Conversely, the metal-polymer bonding is different for each type of polymer. For example, polyacrylamide (PAM)-coated aluminum has a different surface than a corresponding epoxy-coated aluminum, and the corrosion by a given formula is often significantly different for the two different coatings.
