I am happy those students will get to be involved in the study but believe the cost of it should be lower than the preventive maintenance. I have seen rust destroy many systems throughout my working career and when I would take over these systems the damage would stop because once a year I would spray a rust inhibitor on the devices. This usually was at a real low cost as well. I have been in military, city, and contractor maintenance and in all of them, most of the time, the highest account of damage was because no one wanted to take the time to do proper preventive maintenance before there was something wrong. It will be interesting to see what they come up with but all in all I don't think it will make much difference because you still have to get people to implement what they come up with. Unless of course they manage to come up with some kind of new substance that is as hard as steal but does not have corrosive properties. That would be very cool indeed. Who knows I never thought they would invent cell-phones and such and look where that exploded into. Great Job writing this piece it was very understandable and I enjoyed reading it.
