Abstract
An information retrieval system of computer programs has been proposed for processing a large amount of corrosion data obtained both in laboratory and in field tests and experiences. This system can accept various types of data, i. e. numerical, non-numerical, and graphic data as input, which are not restricted by their quality and quantity. The user of the system can refer desirable informations from the file with a name of material, temperature, a name and composition of environmental solution, etc. This is useful to know not only the limit of corrosion resistance of materials but also the influence of environmental factors.
