Abstract
THE loss to our civilisation through the rapid attack by atmospheric and marine influences upon the iron and steel upon which it is really based has been estimated by Sir Robert Hadfield to reach the large sum of 500,000,000l. per annum. There is no need to criticise such an estimate, since obviously the computation is necessarily only achieved by empirical methods. The fact, however, is that there has been probably no more useful field for pure and applied science than that provided by the problem of producing rust-resisting steels.
