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
