Product Description

"A useful addition to the library of any corrosion professional [and] an excellent introduction and summary of the field for readers who do not have experience in corrosion and corrosion control."

M. Davies
Corrosion: The Journal of Science and Engineering
November 2000

This new book presents a practical "how to" approach to understanding and solving the problems of corrosion of structural materials. Although it is written mainly for those having a limited technical background in corrosion, it also provides more experienced engineers with a useful overview of the principles of corrosion and can be used as a general guide for developing a corrosion-control program.

Includes identification of the various forms of corrosion, critical factors leading to a specific type of corrosion, necessary preventive steps to eliminate or reduce corrosion damage, protective-coating selection, corrosion characteristics of common structural materials, corrosion-testing programs, and failure-analysis procedures.

Contents:

• The Effects and Economic Impact of Corrosion
• Basic Concepts Important to Corrosion
• Principles of Aqueous Corrosion
• Forms of Corrosion: Recognition and Prevention
• Types of Corrosive Environments
• Corrosion Characteristics of Structural Materials
• Corrosion Control by Proper Design
• Corrosion Control by Materials Selection
• Corrosion Control by Protective Coatings and Inhibitors
• Corrosion Control by Cathodic and Anodic Protection
• Corrosion Testing and Monitoring
• Techniques for Diagnosis of Corrosion Failures
• Glossary of Corrosion-Related Terms
