There are only three certain things in the life of an engineer – death, taxes and corrosion. While we rely heavily on ferrous alloys, principally steel, for much of the built environment, they and many other commonly used alloys are essentially unstable and want nothing more than to return to the low energy state in which they happily spent most of the last few millennia. With around 4% of GDP going down the drain in the form of rust, there are clearly good reasons to understand the problems plus the routes to preventing such a waste. Within 1 hour, all will be revealed
