Handbook of Corrosion Engineering

Handbook of Corrosion Engineering considers the most recent progress in metals corrosion and associated protection processes, and discovers the entire corrosion-related characteristics utilized in natural and industrial environments, including monitoring and testing. Throughout the handbook, the science and engineering of corrosion are combined to assist readers carry out exact corrosion evaluations in both the design phase and plant management phase, and to describe the optimal protection method. Additionally, the book deals with the basic aspects of corrosion science, including the electrochemical mechanism, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects and different corrosion forms such as uniform, localised and stress corrosion phenomena, in addition to the protection systems adopted to combat corrosion, including inhibitors, coatings and cathodic protection. 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
