Abstract
Vapour corrosion is reviewed and results on a variety of plastics and a range of metals are presented. Tests have been carried out on some anodic metal coatings on steel: Mn/Se, Cd/Sn and Zn/Ni coatings have been shown to have moderate resistance to corrosion by organic acid vapours. The dangers of hydrogen embrittlement arising from vapour corrosion attack are pointed out.
