Well summer seems to have started, the weather has improved markedly, the local branches have stopped their technical meetings for the summer, and the North West Branch has organised a golf day again.
This issue features the usual columns, and there is a detailed report on the successful CED working day mentioned by the President. There is a very interesting “Fellow’s Corner” article on the corrosion risks associated with one method of reducing global warming, and both an “Ask the Expert” answer and a technical article look at metallic coatings for corrosion prevention. The other technical article describes a way of mitigating against corrosion of bolted connections.
As always, I welcome comments from readers about the topics covered in the magazine, and how it can be improved. Also remember to send in your technical questions for answer by our panel of experts.
