The Greatest Challenge in Corrosion Prevention and Control is Apathy

At this very moment the equipment, infrastructure and facilities of this nation and of the Department of Defense (DoD) are under attack by a known enemy. This enemy has the ability to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The damage, degradation, and deterioration caused by this enemy doesn’t happen overnight; it usually happens over an extended period of time and is often visible to us during the process. That enemy is corrosion!

At this very moment the equipment, infrastructure and facilities of this nation and of the Department of Defense (DoD) are under attack by a known enemy. This enemy has the ability to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The damage, degradation, and deterioration caused by this enemy doesn’t happen overnight; it usually happens over an extended period of time and is often visible to us during the process. That enemy is corrosion! We can prevent or control this enemy for some indefinite time, but eventually, the process of corrosion will win out. It has been estimated that corrosion costs the US approximately $1 trillion dollars a year, which is approximately 6 percent of the US gross domestic product (GDP). Preventing and controlling corrosion requires the use of resources (time, people, money, energy). Prevention and control of corrosion requires a timely response to prevent or correct the damage done or it can affect the availability of the asset for our use and to avoid injuries, lost time, or loss of life.
