Abstract
The ancient Greeks differentiated four main elements: water, air, earth, and fire. These four environments are very important for the corrosion of metals. We shall discuss separately the corrosion of metals and alloys in water and in air (atmosphere). The corrosion of metals in fire (oxidation at high temperatures) and in soil is beyond the scope of this book.
