CORROSION COMMENTARY

Abstract

COST AND EFFICIENCY. The economics of corrosion, like the economics of society, is a matter of continuous debate. In any attempt to cost the effects of corrosion and anti‐corrosion measures what criterion should be selected as the most important? The extent of damage due to corrosion; the cost of applying protection; the probable extent of damage had protection measures not been applied? These, and other factors, have all to be taken into account before any rational approach to the problem can be made. It is a matter of regret that, in this country at least, there has been no real systematic study of the corrosion problem with a view to establishing valid criteria for costing corrosion and anti‐corrosion procedures in industry.
