DESIGNING TO PREVENT CORROSION

THE COST OF CORROSION, IN MANY INSTANCES, CAN BE AND SHOULD BE REDUCED IN THE DESIGN STAGE. AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL THEORY OF CORROSION, EXPERIENCE IN THE RECOGNITION OF THE VARIOUS TYPES OF CORROSION, A KNOWLEDGE OF FERROUS AND NONFERROUS MATERIALS /INCLUDING PLASTICS, PAINTS, WOOD, GLASS, AND CERAMICS/, AND A FAMILIARITY WITH THE TECHNICAL SOCIETIES AND TECHNICAL LITERATURE DEALING WITH THESE FIELDS WILL AID CONSIDERABLY IN MINIMIZING CORROSION AND MAXIMIZING THE SERVICE LIFE OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. AMONG SUBJECT AREAS COVERED ARE WELDING, AUTOMOBLE, RAILROAD CARS, CHEMICAL PLANTS, CATHODIC PROTECTION, AND PROTECTIVE COATINGS. /AUTHOR/
