reclassified

My comment:

unrestricted would be too strong, I would think something along the lines of "classified as less threatened than they are now" (by corrosion from the fog)

segregated

My comment:

severed, split, sundered.

First of all, I am assuming a gap between the two "s"s.
Then, I came across the following passage in a "Citreon C6" Catalogue :
"Une prestation acoustique et vibratoire de haut niveau apporte au conducteur et à ses occupants le plaisir et le confort d’un habitacle à l’ambiance feutrée.
C’est pourquoi, chaque C6 est contrôlée sur une piste d’essai intégrant diverses zones sévèrisées ( zones pavées, bosselées, ...) afin de s’assurer que toutes les prestations telles que le confort acoustique ou encore le confort de suspension sont à même de satisfaire le client."

In the context, this would mean that a particular zone of testing is split up into discrete and varied sub-zones for the thorough testing of a vehicle or other machine.

My comment:

There must be some misprint. I doubt such word exists in French. Absolutely no reply with any search engine.

damaged

My comment:

The closest thing I could find in my techncal dictionary was "desservir." One of the possible meaning is "to damage."

Everit
Everised parts can be machined the same way as the base material and the parts can be forged, bent in hot or cold condition, turned, ground or milled ...
