This is by no means the role of a metallurgist, who specializes in material properties from the measurable macro traits to the structure at a micro level at the atomic structure. The correct answer, found in 8.1.2 and 15.2.4 is a corrosion specialist, who specializes in types of corrosion and the conditions for them to occur.

The answer should be D and NOT A. "The RBI team shall consult with a CORROSION SPECIALIST to define the equipment damage mechanisms,..". Nowhere does it mention a metallurgist.
