Corrosion Engineering is the specialist discipline of applying scientific knowledge, natural laws and physical resources in order to design and implement materials, structures, devices, systems and procedures to manage the natural phenomenon known as corrosion. Corrosion

Corrosion

Corrosion is the disintegration of an engineered material into its constituent atoms due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. In the most common use of the word, this means electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen...

 engineering groups have formed around the world in order to prevent, slow and manage the effects of corrosion. Examples of such groups are the National Association of Corrosion Engineers and the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC, see Corrosion societies

Corrosion societies

Corrosion engineers around the world organize into corrosion societies to share their experience and discoveries.NACE International claims to be the worldwide society with universally accepted standards....

. The corrosion engineers main task is to economically and safely manage the effects of corrosion on materials. Corrosion engineering Masters degree course are available worldwide and are concerned with the control and understanding of corrosion.
