Generic Approaches to Risk Based Inspection Planning for Steel Structures (2004, background): “Half a century later, the direct annual cost of corrosion in the US is assessed in Koch et al. (2001) as 276 billion US$, which represents 3.1% of the gross national product (GNP); 121 billion US$ thereof is attributed to corrosion control.”
Recent developments in sustainable corrosion inhibitors: design, performance and industrial scale applications (2021, unknown): “They are also used as corrosion inhibitors for aluminum 7,8,11,12,15,18 and copper.”
Green Inhibitors for Corrosion of Metals: A Review (2012, background): “It was also suggested that about 25-30% of the annual corrosion costs could be saved by means of optimum corrosion management practices [1].”
COST OF CORROSION AND CORROSION MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES (2007, background): “But to realize the maximum savings from corrosion requires both improvements to (1) current operations and maintenance practices and (2) construction practices and designs that implement the latest technology.”
Spectroscopic identification of protective and non-protective corrosion coatings on steel structures in marine environments (2005, background): “The total cost of corrosion and corrosion related issues in the United States is significant, amounting to about 6% GDP or $500 billion per year [1].”
