AUTOMOBILE CORROSION PROBLEMS -- CAUSES AND PREVENTION

CAUSES AND FACTORS INVOLVED IN CORROSION OF AUTOMOBILES ARE EXAMINED. AMONG THESE ARE BODY DESIGN, INDUSTRIAL FALLOUT, DE-ICING CHEMICALS. CORROSION INHIBITORS, CORROSION RESISTANT BODY MATERIALS, AND RUSTPROOFING AND ITS APPLICATION ARE DISCUSSED. FEDERAL STANDARDS FOR CORROSION PROOFING OF VEHICLES ARE MENTIONED AND THE SAVINGS THUS OBTAINED. A MAP SHOWS THE AREAS WHERE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS, INDUSTRIAL FALLOUT, AND WINTER SALTING CAUSE THE GREATEST CORROSION. /AUTHOR/
