A study of the mechanism of rust formation.

The wastage of metals due to corrosion has become an important engineering problem in recent years. The growing demand for, and increasing cost of materials, and the cost of shutdown and labour involved in making replacements, makes every effort to understand corrosion worthwhile. The annual cost of corrosion in Canada has recently been set at $300 million (1). This figure is only approximate, because an estimate of this type is extremely difficult to make. A breakdown of the figure is given in Table I.
