Definition
Corrosion may be defined as the destruction of a metal or an alloy because of chemical or electrochemical reaction with its surrounding environment or medium

16
Cost of Corrosion
Which cost more? Corrosion Fire Flooding Earthquake
17
Cost of Corrosion(2004) in billion US$Country Direct Cost Indirect Cost USA 303.76 200 (approximately)Japan 59.02Former USSR 55.01Germany 49.26UK 8.51Australia 7.32Belgium 6.75India 3.78Poland 3.53Canada 3.38...............Global 510.14 940 (approximately)

Example of Overdesign An 8" in. dia oil pipeline 225 miles long
with a in. wall thickness was installed with no corrosion protection system
With appropriate protection namely cathodic protection, it would have a thin wall thickness which would save 3,700 tons of steel (worth more than
one million dollar) increase internal capacity of the pipeline
by about 5%.
19
So……Why Study Corrosion? Materials are precious resources Engineering design is incomplete without
knowledge of corrosion Applying knowledge of corrosion protection
can minimize disasters Corrosion – contaminate products such as
pharmaceutical, food and dairy products or luxury items like soap
Corrosion products – threat to the environment
Artificial implants for the human body!!!

Distribution of disciplines in which active corrosion engineers have graduated
21
So .. What would be expected from You (a Corrosion Engineer)? Ensuring maximum life of new equipment Preservation of existing equipment Protecting or improving the quality of a product in order
to maintain or improve a competitive position. Avoiding costly interruptions of production. Reducing or eliminating losses of valuable products by
spillage or leaks. Refitting of equipment withdrawn from service because
of corrosion. Reducing hazards to life and property that might be
associated with corrosion: Explosions of pressure vessels or piping systems release of poisonous or explosive gases or vapors are a few examples.
