THE SCOPE OF PROTECTIVE METAL SPRAYING

Abstract

When writing about any process designed to restrict, arrest or eliminate the atmospheric corrosion of iron or steel it is very tempting to catch the breath of the reader (and, one hopes, his interest) by quoting the cost of losses to ‘rust’. Unfortunately, the figures quoted are understandably arbitrary. They also vary considerably, but the most modest estimates put the annual cost in excess of one hundred million pounds sterling, in the U.K. alone. Therefore, any method which has proven that it can substantially reduce this tremendous waste must justify investigation.
