PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Corrosion Engineering,
    including corrosion mechanisms, electrochemical reactions, anodes,
    cathodes, electrolytes, potentials, current density, uniform corrosion,
    galvanic corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular
    corrosion, erosion-corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking, corrosion
    fatigue, oxidation, passivation, coatings, inhibitors, cathodic
    protection, anodic protection, material selection, inspection,
    monitoring, provenance, uncertainty, confidence and recursive
    corrosion-engineering reasoning.

    Critical Distinction
        Corrosion-engineering reasoning must distinguish corrosion rate
        from instantaneous current, pitting from uniform corrosion,
        passivation from immunity and coating presence from demonstrated
        protection. Material condition, environment chemistry, exposure
        duration, electrochemical state, damage morphology, protection
        state and inspection provenance must remain explicit.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Corrosion Engineering manages material degradation by relating
    material and surface condition to environment, electrochemical
    reactions, corrosion mechanisms, damage and protective systems.
    Reliable reasoning preserves material grade, environment chemistry,
    exposure conditions, potentials, corrosion rates, damage morphology,
    coating or protection state and inspection evidence while
    distinguishing nominal protection from measured protection
    effectiveness.
