Corrosion Innovation

From Concepts to Devices

• Good ideas don't appear, they evolve.
• Unfortunately, hardly any invention ever works right or "flies" the first time it's built. You need to build and test it to be aware of the working problems.
• Edison's views on this subject: Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius! Any other bright-minded fellow can accomplish just as much if he will stick like hell and remember nothing that's any good works by itself. You've got to make the damn thing work!… I failed my way to success.
• The path towards great ideas is not just a creative evolution but a business process as well.
• Present engineering practice is changing as companies are forced to increase their overall effectiveness, level of cooperation, flexibility and response time to the customer, while at the same time product complexity is constantly increasing.

Survey of Research Innovations

What is new in corrosion research an development. With this survey we hope to collate enough information to start a new Module on R&D progress in corrosion prevention and engineering.

Please provide your input on any of the following topics:

• Laboratory tools
• Field measurements
• Inhibitor systems
• Imaging techniques
• Communication equipment
• Computer models
• Design data
• ...

If appropriate, the information you will provide us will be integrated in the Corrosion Doctors Web site with proper referencing and acknowledgements.
