Database Systems for Corrosion Engineering

Abstract

The cost of corrosion is estimated to be a few percent of the Gross National Product, and considerable extent of which could be saved by using existing technology. Corrosion database systems help utilizing exisiting data and thus contribute to the realization of these cost savings. Forefront of factual databases and expert systems was reviewed. It is expected that better factual databases and good algorithmes must be complied. Knowledge based systems integrated with other application software are very promising.
