Abstract:
€2.2 trillion Global economic cost annually related to corrosion
Standardised codes are not related to reality
e.g. A262-14 (Susceptibility to IG attack of aust SS) states:
“The presence or absence of intergranular corrosion in this test is NOT necessarily a measure of the performance of the material in other corrosive media/environments.”
Engineers can only design based on general corrosion
THE corrosion resistant material does not exist
THE corrosive environment does not exist (neither does non-corrosive)
Never ask for a corrosion resistant material only
