Description

Handbook of Corrosion Engineering: Modern Theory, Fundamentals and Practical Applications explores recent progress in metals corrosion and associated protection processes, spanning all corrosion-related characteristics utilized in natural and industrial environments, including monitoring and testing. The book combines the science and engineering of corrosion to assist readers in conducting exact corrosion evaluations in the design and plant management phases, including optimal protection methods. The book examines the basics of corrosion science, including the electrochemical mechanism, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, different corrosion forms—such as uniform, localized, and stress corrosion phenomena—and protection systems adopted to combat corrosion, including inhibitors, coatings, and cathodic protection.

Key features

  • Focuses on industrial requirements, including codes, standards, regulations, and specifications
  • Recommends materials for control and prevention of corrosion damage
  • Offers industry-tested best practices, rationales, and case studies
  • Covers materials, corrosion, corrosion inhibition, coating, heat treatment, test and inspection, and mechanical design and integrity
  • Includes websites of interest and information about latest research
  • Comprises exercises and practical examples to understand, predict, estimate and mitigate corrosion problems
  • Features numerous pictures, figures, graphs, and schematic models to ensure a clear understanding of the science and engineering of corrosion
