Books by P.E. Schweitzer

This book compares and contrasts the corrosion resistance of wrought stainless steel and high nickel alloys and explores recent advances in the production of exotic metals. It emphasizes the physical and mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, workability and cost of various metals.

This book covers a variety of specific coatings and solid sheet and liquid applied linings, focusing on surface preparation, installation, and applicaton and detailing physical, mechanical, and overall corrosion resisitance. It compares and contrasts individual linings and coatings including glass, cement, various paints for concrete, and metallic and polymer-based coatings. Then it examines the effects of temperature extremes such as coalescence, sagging and slumping, leveling, and adhesion. The book includes an analysis of organic, metallic, and monolithic coatings and paints for concrete and assesses polyester, acrylic, and urethane coatings that offer atmospheric protection.

Corrosion of Linings and Coatings: Cathodic and Inhibitor Protection and Corrosion Monitoring offers focused coverage for professionals interested in protective linings and coatings, corrosion protection, and monitoring techniques. The author details various materials and methods for controlling and protecting against corrosion. He discusses the use of mortars, grouts, and monolithic surfaces and explains how the use of inhibitors and cathodic protection help prevent corrosion. The book also provides details for various types of linings materials and coatings and includes valuable compatibility charts for each material covered. The final chapter explains the variety of corrosion monitoring techniques currently available.

This volume in the Corrosion Engineering Handbook Series provides a detailed examination of the corrosive effects of thermoplastic polymers, thermoset polymers, and elastomeric materials. Following a general introduction to the composition, properties, and applications of polymers, the book focuses on the effects of chemical corrosion caused by changes in temperature, moisture, and other corrodents. Organized by material type, the chapters cover each material's ability to withstand sun, weather, and ozone as well as its chemical resistance and typical applications. It also includes compatibility tables for each of the materials and compares the corrosion resistance of selected elastomers.
