腐蝕的發生及其實際控制是一個涉及廣泛科學知識的研究領域。腐蝕科學為這一領域的各個方面的思想、發展和研究提供了傳播媒介，包括金屬腐蝕和非金屬腐蝕，本國際期刊的范圍非常廣泛。發表的論文從高度理論到實際，涵蓋了高溫氧化、鈍化、陽極氧化、生化腐蝕、應力腐蝕開裂以及腐蝕控制機制和方法等領域。這本雜志發表原始論文和評論領域的純和應用腐蝕，材料退化，以及表面科學和工程。它在冶金學家、材料科學家和腐蝕和降解現象的所有研究者之間形成了重要的聯系。

Occurrence of corrosion and its practical control is an area of study covering a wide range of scientific knowledge. Corrosion Science provides a medium for the communication of ideas, developments and research in all aspects of this field and includes both metallic and non-metallic corrosion.The scope of this international journal is very extensive. Published papers range from the highly theoretical to the essentially practical and cover such areas as high temperature oxidation, passivity, anodic oxidation, biochemical corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and mechanisms and methods of corrosion control. This journal publishes original papers and critical reviews in the fields of pure and applied corrosion, the degradation of materials, and both surface science and engineering. It forms an important link between metallurgists, materials scientists and all investigators of corrosion and degradation phenomena.
