The author describes the historical development of the electrochemical theory of corrosion processes, and shows how it has been of value in understanding the behaviour of metals, amalgams and alloys, mainly in acid solutions. It has been of great value in the search for improved resistance in metals, mainly by small alloying additions, by anodic protection, or by modifying the environment.
