Page iii Preface Corrosion is both costly and dangerous. Billions of dollars are spent annually for the replacement of corroded structures, machinery, and components, including metal roofing, condenser tubes, pipelines, and many other items. In addition to replacement costs are those associated with preventive maintenance to prevent corrosion, inspections, and the upkeep of cathodically protected structures and pipelines. Indirect costs of corrosion result from shutdown, loss of efficiency, and product contamination or loss. While the actual replacement cost of an item may not be high, the loss of production resulting from the need to shut down an operation to permit the replacement may amount to hundreds of dollars per hour. When a tank or pipeline develops a leak, product is lost. If the leak goes undetected for a period of time, the value of the lost product could be considerable. In addition, contamination can result from the leaking material, requiring cleanup, and this can be quite expensive. When corrosion takes place corrosion products build up, resulting in reduced flow in pipelines and reduced efficiency of heat transfer in heat exchangers. Both conditions increase operating costs. Corrosion products may also be detrimental to the quality of the product being handled, making it necessary to discard valuable materials. Premature failure of bridges or structures due to corrosion can also result

Page iv in human injury or even loss of life. Failures of operating equipment resulting from corrosion can have the same disastrous results. When all of these factors are considered it becomes obvious why the potential problem of corrosion should be considered during the early design stages of any project and why it is necessary to constantly monitor the integrity of structures, bridges, machinery, and equipment to prevent premature failures. In order to cope with the potential problems of corrosion it is necessary to understand 1. Mechanisms of corrosion 2. Corrosion resistant properties of various materials 3. Proper fabrication and installation techniques 4. Methods to prevent or control corrosion 5. Corrosion testing techniques 6. Corrosion monitoring techniques It is the intention of this book to provide a source of information on these six items for designers, engineers, and maintenance and operating personnel. This knowledge is essential when dealing with the problems of corrosion.
