The concept of the corrosion process, derived from the Latin corrodere (to eat away, to destroy), first appeared in the Philosophical Transactions in 1667 [2]. It was discussed in a German translation from the French on the manufacture of white lead in 1785 and was mentioned in 1836 in the translation of an English paper by Davy on the cathodic protection of iron in seawater [3]. However, almost until the present day, the term was used indiscriminately for corrosion reaction, corrosion effects, and corrosion damage. Only in DIN 50900, Part I, were these terms distinguished and defined [4] (see Section 2.1).

Faraday developed the laws of electrolysis between 1831 and 1834. In mid-December of 1833. he began a quantitative study of the electrolysis of several metal cations, including Sn2+, Pb2+, and Znz+. Despite taking a whole day off for Christmas, he managed to complete these experiments, write up the results of three years work, and get his paper published in the Philosophic Transactions of the Hoyal Society on January 9,1834. In this paper, Faraday introduced the basic vocabulary of electrochemistry, using for the first time the terms "anode," cathode," ion, "electrolyte," and "electrolysis."...

Michael Thompson is currently Editor of the Royal Society s Philosophical Transactions (Series A). He graduated from Cambridge with first class honours in Mechanical Sciences in 1958, and obtained his PhD in 1962 and his ScD in 1977. He was a Fulbright researcher in aeronautics at Stanford University, and joined University College London (UCL) in 1964. He has published four books on instabilities, bifurcations, catastrophe theory and chaos, and was appointed professor at UCL in 1977. Michael Thompson was elected FRS in 1985 and was awarded the Ewing Medal ofthe Institution of Civil Engineers. He was a senior SERC fellow and served on the IMA Council. In 1991 he was appointed director of the Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics.
