THE COST OF CORROSION

This is a slightly shortened version of a paper presented at the symposium on corrosion held in the University of Melbourne late last year. Prof. Worner presided over the meetings which succeeded in directing the attention of many industrialists to the dangers of corrosion. In this paper some interesting aspects of corrosion costing are given, with particular application to Australian industry, and we feel that the information given here is an important addition to the not over‐prodigious amount of literature available on the subject of corrosion costs.
