Four educational lectures presented at the 14th Annual Conference of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers at San Francisco, March 17-21, 1958.
In March, 1958 at the National Association of Corrosion Engineers’ meeting in San Francisco, a series of educational lectures on atmospheric corrosion and deterioration was presented by outstanding specialists. While there has been great progress in the past 50 years in this field, there still is a tremendous annual economic loss because of attack by the elements on externally exposed installations of all kinds. Much research and development still is needed to find less expensive ways of protecting metals and other materials from atmospheric damage.
This series of carefully prepared lectures, giving the status-of-the-art, is intended as a convenient reference to corrosion engineers and investigators. They also should serve as a stimulus to students of corrosion, some of whom may be alerted to the need for specialization in...
