Abstract

Metallurgical properties have strong effects on corrosion. The paper discusses and reviews the work done at CECRI on the metallurgical aspects of corrosion of some industrially important alloys like steel and aluminium alloy weldments, stainless maraging steel and prestressing steel. The corrosion control methods for the above materials are also reviewed.
