Corrosion is a basically harmful phenomenon, but it can be useful in some cases. For instance, environment?s pollution with corrosion products and damage to the performance of a system are among its harmful effects, whereas electric energy generation in a battery and cathodic protection of many structures are among its advantages. However, these advantages are almost nothing as compared to the costs and effects imposed by its detrimental influences. The enormous costs of this phenomenon can be better understand through studying the published statistics on direct and indirect corrosion damages on economy of governments. The direct cost of corrosion is near 3 % of the gross domestic product (GDP) of USA. Considering this huge cost, it is necessary to develop and expand the corrosion science and its protection technologies. 606 $aCorrosion and anti-corrosives 610 $aPhysical Sciences 610 $aEngineering and Technology 610 $aMaterials Science 610 $aMetals and Nonmetals 610 $aMetallurgy 615 0$aCorrosion and anti-corrosives. 676 $a620.11223 700 $aM.
