In some cases, damage may be caused by the use of materials unsuited to operating conditions. In this context, there have been many claims involving the use of skid-resistant steels.

Example

— In a marine environment, tubular structures in patinable steel supporting conveyor belts have had to be protected by painting in the same way as ordinary steel, but their performance is better.
