Abstract
Corrosion consultants, who do not belong to any companies of maker, user, or fabricator, have been expected to play an active part in the corrosion engineering field in Japan, similar to advanced industrial countries. The situations are resulted from the decreased engineering personnel in the companies, because of the increased retirement of the baby-boomer generations after the World War II. The author’s activities as the corrosion consultant for 8 years are shown for introducing the real circumstances around the consultant business in this field.
