Abstract
PRINCE1 has observed that a freshly sheared steel surface rusts far quicker than would be expected at ordinary temperatures. Whether or not it is always legitimate, in statistically distributed events, to draw conclusions from isolated observations, recorded facts support his statement in the present case. The corrosion probability of a freshly scraped surface is higher than that of a surface exposed to air ; statistical studies by Hears2 have shown that the probability number for rusting at scratch lines traced on iron, and, after exposure to air, covered with 0.07 M sodium bicarbonate, declines steadily with the duration of exposure.
