PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING OF THE MECHANICAL FAILURES PREVENTION GROUP (15TH) HELD AT DAYTON, OHIO ON 14-15 APRIL 1971

The document is a report of two-day discussions by a group of nationally-recognized specialists of the subject 'Corrosion Effects in Mechanical Failure.' Summaries are presented of sixteen prepared talks which had as their objective the examination of the state of the art in the study of the many mechanisms of corrosion which have been observed to lead to ultimate mechanical failure. Limitations and gaps on the technology available for problem solving are identified, providing guidance for future research. Reports of problems encountered in current field service provide an estimate of the magnitude of the problem and the relevance of current research. Significant audience discussions are reported.
