Abstract
Corrosion problems can be approached from different, yet not necessarily opposite, points of view. To solve a corrosion problem as a technical problem, requires applying corrosion mitigation/prevention –related technicalities in the domain of corrosion management. There is, however, another dimension to this and it is the way that a corrosion engineer has to communicate with the mangers who may not have the same level of expertise in corrosion management. Here, the problem is not a technical problem anymore, it is related to using a language which, while corrosion-related, is not that technical. At the same time, this language must be something that will address human relationships and its impact on the management. This is what we may call as “corrosion knowledge management”, or briefly CKM, the second approach towards corrosion mitigation. CKM is different from corrosion management. CKM can be regarded as an interface through which managers and engineers can communicate more effectively. This chapter explaines briefly the principles of this managerial technique.
