CORROSION COMMENTARY

CAR CORROSION HAZARDS. IN this issue we present the first of a series of three articles on corrosion in the motor car by a scientist of the Motor Industry Research Association. In…

The Corrosive Nature of Combustion Gases

G. Whittingham

In the first part of the paper, which outlines the laboratory and field investigations on corrosion by flue gases from solid fuel combustion carried out by the British Coal…

Painting for the Protection of Outdoor Metal Structures: Part 1. Preparing to Paint

J.F. Stanners

The corrosion of metal structures outdoors is a problem common to almost all industries, for such structures range from bridges to window frames. Painting is the most widely used…

Corrosion Group Visits Belgium

Visits to test sites and laboratories; fundamental research on corrosion and protective coatings for steel discussed

CORROSION IN THE MOTOR‐CAR: 1. Corrosive Wear of Piston Rings and Cylinders

Z.S. Michalewicz

Corrosion is one of the chief factors contributing to the wear of the cylinders and piston rings of an automotive engine. It is caused by acids formed in the combustion process…

HOT DIP GALVANISING: International Conference at Oxford

N.E. Cook, W.L. Hall, W.R. Thompson, J. Landeau, H. Wiester, D. Horstmann, A. Gordet

The hot dip galvanising process is a well‐established means of rust‐proofing iron and steel. In Western Europe 78,000 tons of zinc are used every year for galvanising sheet and…

CORROSION INHIBITORS: 1. Principles of Inhibition

L.L. Shreir

The corrosion of metals can be reduced or prevented by influencing the electrode processes of electrochemical corrosion cells with suitable chemical additions to the corrosive…

CORROSION PATENTS

Corrosion inhibitors for water‐wetted surfaces. The compositions described are applied to water‐wetted surfaces. They are able to penetrate the water films and become adsorbed as…

FRETTING CORROSION: AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM

W.E. Campbell, E.W. Herbek, Jnr., R.F. Strohecker

Fretting corrosion—a surface damage occurring between two closely fitting surfaces subject to slight vibrational movement—has caused trouble in machinery ever since the first…

CORROSION RESEARCH ROUND‐UP

Paint as an anticorrosive. Results depend on the preparation of the surface and on the quality of the paint. Investigations are described into the adhesive and weathering…
