"Corrosion management is a relatively new assessment method that industries use to look at the dimensions of corrosion problems. Corrosion demonstrates itself as localized corrosion and uniform corrosion. There are several forms of corrosion such as, but not limited to, atmospheric corrosion, Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), Corrosion under insulation (CUI) and the like. These corrosion forms have forced engineers to look at corrosion...
