Research Laboratories Tackle Corrosion Problems

Solutions to the many corrosion problems of industry are being sought in the laboratories of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and its affiliated research associations. These investigations range from the fundamental work at the Chemical Research Laboratory to studies on the special problems of industry, such as the protection of coil springs against corrosion. Here is a summary of results achieved and future plans as recorded in the 1952–53 report of the D.S.I.R. which appeared recently.
