The objective of this talk is to provide broad-brush comments on a wide range of corrosion phenomena in order to provide a measure of common ground for the more detailed talks which follow, and also to discuss in slightly greater depth a few topics for which time does not allow individual coverage. The topics discussed are restricted to those included in the area commonly called “wet” corrosion; atmospheric corrosion and corrosion at high temperatures will be treated separately. At this stage, at least, the treatment will not be either deeply chemical or deeply mechanistic, but will be restricted to factual discussion of the ways in which corrosion may lead to materials problems in practice.
