ECO-SOCIO-TECHNOLOGICAL DEGRADATION OF THE METALLIC MATERIALS

The scope is to research the degradation of materials in eco-socio-technological coordinates, given that this process of anti-durable and sustainable development is the result of destructive interactions occurring in the convergence areas of three systems: natural-ecological (N.E.S.), social (S.S.) and technological (T.S.). The investigations are based on state-of-the-art paradigms: global knowledge and eco-socio-technological paradigm. A new field of knowledge is defined: the engineering of materials eco-socio-technological degradation. Various types of degradation are analyzed, taking into account the technological, environmental and social restraints.
