Conclusions
- The corrosion-related performance of subcomponents can be analyzed
explicitly in terms of the CBDA/LAM method. This approach integrates all the
important contributions from corrosion.
- The CBDA/LAM method provides frameworks within which mathematical
expressions can be utilized to quantify corrosion at specific LAis.
- This CBDA/LAM approach provides a basis for the explicit considerations of
corrosion in such a way that they can become part of the design record and
are not omitted in the apparent complexity of corrosion-related phenomena.
- The CBDA/LAM approach provides an approach that can be understood and
utilized by both materials and design organizations..
