This book is a first‐hand answer to two questions:
1 What corrosion management (CM) really means;
2 What to expect from CM.
Let us be more specific in describing what we mean by the above. For those of you who have been too engaged with your integrity management tasks that cannot find time to watch movies and particularly horror movies, I do recommend to watch the movie “Final Destination; Part 5,” and watch it with the eyes of a corrosion/integrity management specialist. In this movie (and its previous parts) what is shown is that something of little importance goes wrong, and in a series of unpredictable, sad events, one (or sometimes more) of the actors are killed in a very dramatic, graphic way. As said, the main lesson learned from this movie is that one problem can lead to another and in the end, a catastrophic result occurs. The same is also true with neglecting corrosion in an integrity management plan; something that one would think is not that important will lead to another, and if it is in its “pseudo‐FFS1” (Fit‐For‐Service State) stage, the result at its best could be arriving at a “Zugzwang effect” [1] stage, or simply said, failure.
In classical academic literature related to Management and its principles, perhaps one of the best definitions have been given by Henry Fayol as “To manage is to forecast and to plan, to organize, to command, to co‐ordinate and to control [1].” On the other hand, corrosion has also a clear definition that can be simplified as the chemical reaction between an electron donor (anode) and electron receiver (cathode) via a medium that allows exchange of ions and a metallic path that allows electron transfer.2 However, what is CM? In fact, when it comes to corrosion science, we know that we are talking
