Corrosion and Corrosion Control
About this book
The newest edition of the gold standard in corrosion reference resources
In the newly revised fifth edition of Corrosion and Corrosion Control, distinguished scientist and program manager R. Winston Revie delivers a uniquely up-to-date resource reflecting the current knowledge of corrosion science and engineering. This book offers updated explanations of the essential aspects of corrosion science and engineering that underpin the tools and technologies used for managing and controlling corrosion.
"Relying heavily on a quantitative approach – along with basic equations that are explained and derived, as well as illustrative problems with solutions – the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles that drive corrosion are discussed." The book also includes practical corrosion control measures, like cathodic protection, coatings, inhibitors, and the use of plastics as a substitute for metals.
Readers will also find:
- A thorough introduction to new materials, including multi-principal element alloys, and calculations of corrosion rates of alloys
- Comprehensive explorations of corrosion-resistant materials
- Practical discussions of texture as related to stress-corrosion cracking
- Complete treatments of materials reliability and risk in a variety of industries, including biomedical, energy, and transportation
Perfect for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying corrosion in engineering, materials science, and chemistry programs, Corrosion and Corrosion Control will also benefit engineers, scientists, and technologists, as well as lawyers engaged in litigation involving materials exposed to the environment.
