"Corrosion management is a relatively new assessment method that industries use to look at the dimensions of corrosion problems. Corrosion demonstrates itself as localized corrosion and uniform corrosion. There are several forms of corrosion such as, but not limited to, atmospheric corrosion, Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), Corrosion under insulation (CUI) and the like. These corrosion forms have forced engineers to look at corrosion within the framework of corrosion management (CM). The ultimate of CM models is to control corrosion to minimize its costs. However, we believe that these models are not complete enough to cover all aspects of corrosion and to compensate for that, we need to have a system much smarter and more encompassing."-- Provided by publisher.
