The study of corrosion --;Corrosion basics --;Corrosion electrochemistry --;Corrosion thermodynamics --;Corrosion kinetics and applications of electrochemistry to corrosion --;Recognizing the forms of corrosion --;Corrosion failures, factors, and cells --;Corrosion by water --;Atmospheric corrosion --;Corrosion in soils and microbiologically influenced corrosion --;Materials selection, testing, and design considerations --;Corrosion as a risk --;Cathodic protection --;Protective coatings --;High-temperature corrosion --;A : Historical perspective --;B. : Periodic Table --;C. : SI units conversion table.
Offers practical coverage of how corrosion affects metallic materials and the methods of preventing it. This book helps learn how to check for and control corrosion in different types of materials and applications - from pipelines to bridges to manufacturing devices - before they fail.
