Spotlight on Corrosion

This video from the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) plays with the music so manipulatively. It opens with PBS-style music, like we're about to watch an episode of Masterpiece Theater and then shifts to ominous music before closing with hopeful, soaring music at 4:30.

Admittedly, the video is becoming fairly dated at this point, having been produced in 2005 but clearly relying on statistics and video from before that. And, let's be honest, the difference in video quality in the past ten years is fairly drastic. Still, the video is a great introduction to corrosion, showing some of the significant costs of corrosion as well as some pretty spectacular examples (Hawaii airline accident, Charlotte Motor Speedway bridge collapse) of what can go wrong because of corrosion.

Thanks, as always to NACE for being a major sponsor of our summer teacher camps with their donations of a huge number of cKits, one for each of our summer camper.

Plus they produced the video in Spanish!
