Book Reviews Corrosion and its Prevedion
in Motor Vehicles. Proc. Inst. Med.
Engrs. 182, Pt. 35
(1967-68) ; 156 pages plus illus. ; price: .jZ6. The book contains the full text of all the papers and a record of the discussion at a Symposium arranged by the Automobile Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in association with The British Joint Corrosion Group. Since the advent of the motor car, the problem of corrosion has been a constant cause for concern for both the manufacturer and the car woner. Much research work has been carried out in the field by the motor industry, Ministry of Technology and University laboratories. The Symposium was arranged to discuss the progress and findings of these research bodies. It was hoped that free interchange of ideas and knowledge would clarify the practical problems besetting the industry and help in the direction of further researches. The introductory paper concludes chemical
processes
of corrosion,
that the fundamental
although
complex
in detail,
chemical and electroare in broad
outline
simple, and well understood by those who study them. The fundamental principles of protection from corrosion and of its avoidance are perhaps even simpler but cannot the always be followed in practical situations. The specialised papers exemplify general principles in particular cases and many of them emphasise, quite rightly, that the degree of protection sought must depend not only on technical excellence but on cost and even fashion besides the expectation of mechanical life of the car.
