Abstract

Technological, social, and economic gains have all been seen in the twenty-first century. On the one hand, these innovations have raised the quality of life, but they have also brought about certain negative effects. Iron and steel industry has although provided a strong backbone for the industrialization, but pristine iron-based structures are prone to continuous degradation due to various factors. Corrosion is one of the most detrimental effect on metallic surface. Corrosion degrade the physical chemical characteristics of the material and leads to major defects in the machineries which further become the main reason for many accidents/tragedies. Primary solution for this includes various electrochemical and chemical treatments, coating for the exposed metallic surfaces, but these solutions are also of short duration. Through the development of sophisticated nanomaterials, nanotechnology has emerged as a leading light for several difficulties in recent years. Nanotechnology opens up numerous possibilities for creating technologies that are more useful, economical, and environmentally friendly than those that are already available in a variety of industries. Increased surface area, enhanced chemical reactivity, and mobility define nanoscale materials are among their key features. Some nanoparticles are employed as additives for surface coatings as well as for different metallic treatments because of their improved reactivity and suitably small size. Metallic nanoparticles, including Ag, Au, Zn, and metal oxide nanoparticles, have been widely exploited for their anticorrosion characteristics and as a key reinforcing element in coatings and paint compositions. Ferrite nanoparticles are new nanodimension materials with superparamagnetic behaviour and high surface-to-volume ratio. In recent years, the possible anticorrosion behaviour of ferrite-based nanoparticles has also been the main focus of study by different researchers. Nanoparticles have the potential to be anticorrosion through multifaceted mechanisms. The main topics covered in this chapter include the various types of ferrite nanoparticles with anticorrosion behaviour, anticorrosion mechanisms adopted by nanoferrites, factors influencing corrosion, and potential applications of such ferrite-based nanoparticles.
