Marine Corrosion of Stainless Steels (EFC 10) PDF

Introduction

This volume contains the papers which were presented at two recent symposia:

International Workshop on Stainless Steels and Chlorination in Seawater, Brest, 29-30 May, 1991 (EFC Event no. 186), organised by IFREMERCentre de Brest with support from the EFC Working Party on Marine Corrosion.

International Symposium on Marine and Microbial Corrosion, Stockholm, 30 September-2 October, 1991 (EFC Event no. 184), organised by the Swedish Corrosion Institute with support from the EFCWorking Parties on Microbial Corrosion and Marine Corrosion.

Many topics of current interest were covered, including papers on microbial corrosion, testing and monitoring, mechanisms, chlorination of seawater, the application of stainless steels in seawater environment and corrosion protection.

Some of the papers presented at the conference were omitted from this publication since they had been published elsewhere.

The majority of the papers in the present volume represent the experience of European authors, although two papers originate from the People's Republic of China. A broad classification of topics had been made, thus Introductory Papers are followed by Experience Papers and then by papers on the specific subjects of Chlorination,.Testing Methods (including monitoring), Mechanisms and Protection. The classification is not exclusive since many papers could be associated with more than one topic.

Both conferences demonstrated the necessity to attack the marine corrosion problem in an interdisciplinary way.
