Study on corrosion status and control strategies in transportation field in China

Abstract

According to the division of labor in the overall project, the subject in the transportation field belongs to one of the five subprojects of “A Study on Corrosion Status and Control Strategies in China,” with a focus on the investigation of the corrosion status and the research on control strategies of aircraft, ships, automobiles, train tracks, and other industries in the transportation field. With various means such as literature research, distribution of questionnaires, consultation with industry experts and relevant scientific researchers, and development of seminars, this study collects and collates corrosion data of various industries, involves the main types of corrosion in different industries, presents the corrosion cost in the transportation field, reveals the existing problems in the corrosion control and the main factors restricting the corrosion control technologies and industrial development therein, and puts forward scientific and feasible solutions. At the same time, this study involves the influence of corrosion on public safety in the transportation field, and trace the typical corrosion cases. More than 5,000 questionnaires are issued in the transportation field, with more than 600 collected. The following is an introduction to corrosion investigations in four specific industries.
