Abstract
ON December 8, under the presidency of Sir Robert Hadfield, the Faraday Society held a discussion on the corrosion of metals. Of the seven papers contributed, only two dealt with the more general aspects of this very important question. Three were concerned with the corrosion of iron, and some of the numerous steels which find application in modern industrial life; the remaining two had reference principally to marine condenser tube alloy, 70: 30 brass. As it turned out, there was almost no discussion on the fundamental characteristics of corrosion phenomena. During the first hour instances of corrosion among iron alloys came under review, the remainder of the evening being devoted to a consideration of the corrosion of copper-zinc alloys.
