CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any
corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be
made to prevent the problem in future items.
While corrosion is generally associated with the oxidation of metals, it can include deterioration of other
materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may
indicate a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency Report). Use of
key words such as "corrosion", "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will ensure that the information is identified as
a CPC problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750.
