Corrosion Chemistry

The most up–to–date and comprehensive volume on corrosion available.
The causes and results of corrosion in industrial settings are some of the most important and difficult problems that engineers and scientists face on a daily basis. Coming up with solutions, or not, is often the difference between success and failure, and can have severe consequences. This timely volume covers the state–of–the art in corrosion chemistry today, for use in industrial applications and as a textbook.
Corrosion Chemistry:Gives the theory of corrosion, including factors affecting the corrosion processes and the types of corrosion, based on corrosion mechanisms and the media along with characteristics of metal alloys that are commonly used and liable to corrosionExplains the nature of protective metal oxide films along with aggressive chemical anions that disintegrate these metal oxide filmsExplains major corrosion prevention methods that are anodic and cathodic chemical inhibitors, and protective coatingsDiscusses corrosion prevention methods in engineering sciences such as cathodic protection with a focus on steel and concrete structures that relate to mostly civil and petroleum engineering
Corrosion Chemistry is a must have for any engineer, scientist, chemist, or student working with corrosion. As a reference for the engineer in the field, it is a refresher for the veteran on the causes of corrosion and the methods, processes, and technologies to deal with it, over a variety of industries. It is the most up–to–date, comprehensive treatment of corrosion available, covering the most cutting–edge new processes and theories. For the freshman engineer just entering the field, it is a valuable introduction to corrosion.
