Bookmark not defined. 1 [CORROSION CONTROL/BM] CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CORROSION Corrosion involves the reaction of a metallic material with its environment and is a natural process in the sense that the metal is attempting to revert to the chemically combined state in which it is almost invariably found in the earth’s crust. Whilst it is, therefore, a process that may be expected to occur, it should not be regarded as inevitable and its control or prevention is possible through a variety of means. The latter have their origins in electrochemistry, since the reactions involved in causing corrosion are electrochemical in nature, but corrosion control is as much in the hands of the engineering designer as it is the province of the corrosion prevention specialist. To the engineer, corrosion may be regarded as resulting in a variety of changes in the geometry of structures or components that invariably lead, eventually, to a loss of engineering function e.g. general wastage leading to decrease in section, pitting leading to perforation, cracking leading to fracture. The rusting of ordinary steel is the most common form of corrosion and overall adds up to a high proportion of the total cost attributed to corrosion. General corrosion, in which the whole of the exposed metal surface is a
