However,noneofthesewebinarsorlecturespointoutmatterswhichareoutof “theboxofcorrosion”:therearenowordsabouttheimpactofthethermodynamic natureofcorrosionoritsmanagementandthedifficultiesitcreates,orhowto explainandcontrolecologicalmeasuresimposedbycorrosionandCMtechniques, noristhereanythingrelatedtohowcreativitycanbeanessentialissueinfinding solutionsforcorrosionproblems.
Thisbookisfirstofitskindthatlooksatcorrosionnotjustasatechnicalmatter butasamultidisciplinaryissuethatinvolvesmanyskillsandfaculties mainly non-technicalinthesensethatengineeringliteratureandnomenclatureareconsideredtechnical.

Alloftheseapplicationshavetheirowncodesandstandards.Whenwetalk aboutcorrosiontreatment,weknowthatwearetalkingaboutfivestrategiesto dealwithcorrosion(physicalmeasures,chemicalmeasures,electricalmeasures, mechanicalmeasures,anddesign/materialselectionmeasures).Corrosionmonitoringistoaddressmethodsandtechnologiesbywhichseverityofcorrosion withinitscourseofactionisstudiedbycodesandmeasurespertainingtocorrosion monitoring.Alloftheabovebringtomindcertaincodes,workingenvironments andspecialties,andexpertise.However,whatisCM?Itobviouslyhasapartdealingwithcorrosionandapartdealingwithmanagement.Theconfusionarisesfrom here;howcanmanagementwhichisseeminganon-technicalissue,bematched withcorrosionwhichisahighlytechnicalissue?
Allthematerialswrittentodateonthemanagementofcorrosionarejustlookingatthescience/engineering,andtosomeextenteconomyofcorrosion,without detailingwiththeactualrequirements(forexample,abouttheeconomicnomenclaturethatisneededtounderstandcostofcorrosion).Someofthepublications aboutCMdosufferfromthedefectsmentionedabove.SomeexamplesofCMliteratureare:

EvenIMPACTreportbyex-NACE(nowAMPP)thatwaspublishedin2016had somesectionsonmanagementandeconomywithoutanyfocusonengineering andscienceaspectofcorrosion.
Noeconomist,environmentalsciencesspecialist,oranon-technicalmanageris likelytoreadthosebooks(andsimilarones)orattendCMseminarsandwebinars.

Therearethreeveryimportantfeaturesaboutcorrosion:

Thisdistinguishmentbetweenthesetwotermsifofvitalimportance;theprejudiceofmanywhodealwithcorrosionissuesisthattheyareentitledtofinda waytopreventorcontrolcorrosion.4 Corrosionoccursanywayduetothethermodynamicnatureofit,itisourduty,though,topreventfailures.Itisthrough failuresandleaksthatnotonlyeconomiccostsareimposed(fromshutdown coststomaintenanceandreplacement),butalsoenvironmentaleffectsalso occur.Studyofcorrosionprocessesendinginleakandfailureisthetaskofa corrosionspecialist,post-mortemforensicinvestigationofthefailureiswhat aforensicinvestigatordoestohelpbuildarootcauseanalysisreport,but whoistomeasuretheseriousnessoftheenvironmentaleffectsthusproduced? Whoisgoingtoestimatetheeconomicloss(directcostandindirectcost)?
2)RiskandLikelihood:Ifthelikelihoodofgettingacertaintypeofcorrosionrelatedfailureislow,itdoesnotnecessarilymeanthatisriskisalsolow andviceversa.Theconfusionbetweenriskandlikelihoodiswithnodoubt oneofthemostimportantsourcesofproblemsthatcanevenreachtothelevel ofdisasters.Itisthemindsetthatcanbeobservedinindustryquitefrequently andithasthepotentialofbeinglethal.
