Abstract
This paper outlines some of the conditions which affect durability at discontinuities in metals used in the building industry. The application of metals for lightweight cladding and the specific problems arising at crevices, dissimilar metal contacts, in run-off waters and chemical solutions and by stress corrosion are briefly considered. While individual problems of corrosion are not generally costly to rectify, collectively they Impose a heavy maintenance burden on the building industry. In this context it is argued that the faults Which occur could have been prevented by due recognition of the corrosion hazards.
