Abstract:
Corrosion is one of the most serious degradation processes of materials, in particular of metals. It has a great impact upon economy, environment and society and its effect upon sustainability cannot be discarded. In the present presentation, we will examine the main consequences of corrosion upon sustainability, such as the exhaustion of natural resources (ores, energy producing materials, water) and environmental disasters resulting from failure of materials in service due to corrosion. The importance of research and development for the development of a sustainable industrial society will be stressed, concerning in particular to the development of corrosion resistant materials, coatings and corrosion control techniques.
