Books in the Corrosion Technology series

Presents research on mechanisms of corrosion and advancements in corrosion resistance. This book offers a tabular guide to materials used in the construction of system components ranging from vessels to pumps to gaskets and packing - for specific processes and applications.

With an abundance of practical features and new information, this expanded and completely reorganized third edition helps readers address corrosion problems and create the most corrosion-resistant systems possible. Reflecting the many changes in the field since the publication of the second edition, the book includes new chapters on corrosion by biological sources as well as corrosion of architectural materials. This edition also contains more questions and examples, additional material on thermal and environmental barrier coatings, an expanded chapter on composites, and new literature sources.

Offers a comprehensive description of the causes of corrosion as well as the means to limit or prevent it. This title explains the mechanisms and forms of corrosion, the methods of attack on plastic materials, and the causes of failure in protective coatings, linings, and paints.

Describes the origin, use, and limitations of electrochemical phase diagrams, testing schemes for active, passive, and localized corrosion, the development and electrochemical characterization of passivity, and methods in process alteration, failure prediction, and materials selection.

Analyzes information on the corrosion resistance of zinc and its alloys both as solid materials and as coatings on steel. This book details the corrosion resistance of zinc in atmospheric, aqueous, underground and chemical environments.

Updated to include recent results from intensive worldwide research efforts in materials science, surface science, and corrosion science, the third edition of this bestselling book explores the latest advances in corrosion and protection mechanisms. It presents a detailed account of the chemical and electrochemical surface reactions that govern corrosion as well as the link between microscopic forces and macroscopic behavior. Revised and expanded, this edition includes four new chapters on corrosion fundamentals, the passivity of metals, high temperature corrosion, and the corrosion of aluminum alloys.

Helps designers, engineers, and maintenance personnel choose the appropriate coatings to best protect equipment, structures, and various components from corrosion. This book provides a background of the principles of coatings, the theory of adhesion, and the importance of surface preparation.
