Atmospheric Corrosion of Metals: Third (Experimental) Report to the Atmospheric Corrosion Research Committee (British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association)

Abstract

PREVIOUS reports to the Atmospheric Corrosion Committee have been concerned with laboratory experiments, and most interesting results have been obtained regarding the part played by an initial film of tarnish in determining the subsequent course of corrosion, especially of copper and its alloys. In the present state of our knowledge of corrosion, such carefully designed and executed experiments are of far greater value than a mere accumulation of empirical data, the number of which is already far too great. It was necessary, however, to confirm the laboratory results by field tests, and the latest report describes a systematic series of such tests, utilising the conclusions of the earlier work.
