Show detail Hide detail

Using laboratory demonstrations, time-lapse photography, and animated diagrams, this three-part film explains the causes of corrosion in metals and outlines preventive measures. PART 1 - THE NATURE OF CORROSION-ANODE AND CATHODE PROCESSES simulates the experiments of early corrosion researchers - Michael Faraday, Sir Humphrey Davy, Richard Ady, and Willis Rodney Whitney - and details the process of electrolytic reactions, treating especially the role of oxygen and the formulation of rust. PART II - ORIGINS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF CORROSION CURRENTS introduces the galvanic and electromotive series by which one may determine potential electrolytic reaction, and explains polarization, current density, and cathodic protection. R.J. McKay of the International Nickel Company speaks of his early corrosion research. PART III - PASSIVITY AND PROTECTIVE FILMS treats the role of oxygen as a possible corrosion retardant, the prevention of corrosion by alloying metals, the protective value of rust, and the usefulness of neutralizing or adapting a corrosive environment. Footage includes shots of the Inco Marine Test Station at Kure Beach, North Carolina and the Francis L. LaQue Corrosion Laboratory at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. <63mn>
