(a) Evaluation and selection of materials for a specific environment

(b) To know the effect on the corrosion of metals by addition of inhibitors

(c) To study the mechanism of corrosion

(d) Evaluation and selection of materials for a specific environment, to know the effect on the corrosion of metals by addition of inhibitors and to study the mechanism of corrosion

I had been asked this question in my homework.

My doubt stems from Testing topic in chapter Corrosion Testing of Corrosion Engineering

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) Evaluation and selection of materials for a specific environment, to know the effect on the corrosion of metals by addition of inhibitors and to study the mechanism of corrosion

The best explanation: Purpose of corrosion testing are:

Evaluation and selection of materials for a specific environment

To know the effect of corrosion on metals by the addition of inhibitors

To study the mechanism of corrosion

To control the corrosion resistance of metal or corrosiveness of the environment.
