From page 143...
... Two major barriers to realizing significant savings are a broad lack of awareness of corrosion costs and the potential savings, and a widely held misconception that nothing can be done about corrosion. An essential element to tackling the second of these barriers is a better basic understanding of materials corrosion, broadly defined as the deterioration of a material in its operating environment.

... These and similar questions are the foundation of a potentially compelling fundamental research program. It is timely therefore for a study to identify the compelling opportunities in research to improve the basic understanding of mate rials degradation and related sciences.
