Description: Although they
often appear to be permanent, metals are unstable in their service environments
and are susceptible to degradation by corrosion. Corrosion occurs when
protective mechanisms have been overlooked, break down, or have been exhausted,
leaving the metal vulnerable to attack by hostile environments. Control of
corrosion is essential in a wide variety of industries. It is of concern to
materials scientists and engineers, yet both students and professionals often
cannot assimilate the information they need in typical corrosion-related
literature because they do not have the specialized background these sources
assume. Corrosion Science and Technology clarifies this important background
material and guides readers in its practical application.
This text
integrates the chemical, electrochemical, and metallurgical aspects of
corrosion control for application in typical contemporary technologies with
economical use of resources. The structures of water, oxides, and metals are
examined to identify the interactions by which metals can corrode in natural
and relevant artificial environments. The book describes the characteristics of
metals and alloys often specified for corrosion-resistant service, and
discusses the relative merits of various protective measures and the strategies
available to control corrosion. Corrosion Science and Technology profiles
aviation, automobile manufacture, food processing, and building construction to
show how these sample industries currently address corrosion issues.
