CORIS [1] is an integrated computerized information system for corrosion and corrosion protection. It is made of databases covering corrosion, materials specification, physical properties of the corrosion media, the corrosion literature and two expert systems a. materials behaviour in a sulphuric acid environment and b. pitting corrosion behaviour of stainless steels in chloride media. A user-friendly interface enables the use of the system without any specific computer knowledge. The modular development of the system enables the link of different software packages under the same graphic user interface. The user’s own knowledge and data can be implemented into the system. Thus CORIS is an open system which handles data delivered by the developers and data input by the users. The system includes about 350 pure substances with 10,000 mixtures and 1,800 materials.
