SOME ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF CORROSION

This short article is in the nature of thinking aloud. The zoriter is in the very preliminary stages of a research project into the above mentioned subject, and has formed certain ideas as to the line of research which seem to him to be worth pursuing. It should be explained that the writer is by profession an economist, and has some engineering background, but has no special knowledge of corrosion apart from that which has been gained as a result of reading, and particularly conversations with corrosion experts. He would be particularly grateful, and this is indeed the main purpose of the article, to receive any ideas and comments from readers.
