Excerpt from The Corrosion of Iron and Steel During the last few years the civilized world has begun to realize the importance of understanding the numerous factors connected with the corrosion of iron. Iron is being manufactured in enormous quantities at the present day, and is used for almost every conceivable purpose, so that it is essential for us to gain some knowledge of its powers of resistance to the destructive action of time. Numerous researches have therefore been undertaken with a view to solving one or other of the problems in question, and it seemed desirable to collect all the reliable material together and present it to the scientific public generally, in order that the manufacturers and consumers alike might easily learn how much is actually known of the subject, and in what direction further research is desirable. This has been particularly needful, inasmuch as those who have published works have frequently been manifestly ignorant of the work of previous investigators along similar lines, and it is remarkable what a number of times certain facts have been discovered and rediscovered. Take for example the fact, apparently first proved experimentally by Adie in 1845, saturated solutions of common salt do not corrode iron in the presence of air with anything like the rapidity that tap water does.
