CORROSION COMMENTARY

SOME forthright remarks about domestic fittings and appliances were made at a recent meeting of the S.C.I. Corrosion Group by Mrs. A. Jackman of Queen Elizabeth College, where…

CONCRETE AND CORROSION

T.D. Robson

The corrosion of concrete, and the factors causing or preventing it, present at least as complex a problem as metallic corrosion, and the two are frequently inter‐related. A vast…

Corrosion in the Food Industry

J.W. Selby

It is not possible in an article of this size to deal with all aspects of the corrosion problems encountered in the handling and manufacture of food. Accordingly it is proposed to…

CORROSION IN THE MOTOR‐CAR: 3. The Bodywork

Z.S. Michalewicz

The finishes used on the bodywork of motor‐cars must provide adequate protection against corrosion, effective over a period of many years, under various climatic, atmospheric and…

Localised Corrosion in Steam Boilers: Part 2

R.N. Parkins

Last month Dr. Parkins described the various types of pitting corrosion which may appear in steam boilers. In Part 2 corrosion associated with high concentrations of caustic soda…

Measuring Likely Environments for Corrosion: The B.C.U.R.A. Dewpointmeter

VAPOURS can condense out as liquids on to surfaces which are below the dewpoint of the gases in their immediate vicinity. When these liquids are capable of causing corrosion, it…

Cathodic Protection of Underground Structures: Part 2

W. Godfrey Waite

Continuing from last month, the development and choice of materials for giving the best protection are discussed—galvanic anodes, anodes for use with impressed current and…
