The data set IRON contains data from Draper and Smith
(1998, p. 98).(footnote 1) Thirteen specimens of 90/10 copper-nickel alloys were tested in
a corrosion-wheel setup in order to examine corrosion. Each specimen had
a certain iron content. The wheel was rotated in salt sea water at 30 ft/sec
for 60 days. Weight loss was used to quantify the corrosion. FE represents
the iron content, and LOSS denotes the weight loss in milligrams/square decimeter/day.
