Abstract
Corrosion is an inevitable process which causes degra-dation of metals/ alloys when exposed to the environment.
It causes huge economic losses in terms of maintenance
and repair cost, unplanned shutdowns of plant, loss of
costly products due to leakage. Besides this, aesthetic loss, contamination of the product, safety and human loss
are important. According to a survey conducted by federal highway authority (FHWA) of USA and MACE, direct corrosion costs were estimated to be about 137 billion dollars annually due to all sectors in United States of America. Corrosion losses are roughly approximated to be about 1.5 lakhs crore due to various sectors in India.
