CORROSION may not have a deleterious effect on an object for considerable time after its creation, but eventually it can affect appearance, strength, mechanical operation, and even closure in the case of a sealed pipe or container. Thus, when evaluating the long range performance of a product, it is necessary for the engineer to recognize that the effects of corrosion on the degradation of materials require equal consideration along with materials characteristics, such as formability and strength. Proper consideration to corrosion requires a reasonably good understanding of the mechanism of corrosion and the factors that affect it. The intent of this review is to highlight those areas that should be given consideration; more detailed information can and should be obtained from some of the excellent published papers and books on the subject (1-6).**
