For most firms — WHAT MAKES A CORROSION ENGINEER?

Abstract

In this, the second in a series of articles on the important topic of management attitudes to corrosion and anti‐corrosion, the author analyses the complexities involved in identifying, choosing and educating a corrosion engineer. Referring to the illustration to this article which represents a simplification of the human categories involved, one might say that the successful formula for most medium‐sized firms is C + E = B where C is a chosen apprentice or student, E is education and B is the result, an improved type of maintenance manager having the capacity ot identify a wide variety of corrosion problems and equipped to present these, if necessary, to the specialist for particular solutions. The corrosion consultancy D is recommended particularly for small firms.
