The most complete corrosion control reference on the market―thoroughly revised for the latest advances This fully updated guide offers complete coverage of the latest corrosion-resistant materials, methods, and technologies. Written by a recognized expert on the subject, the book covers all aspects of corrosion damage, including detection, monitoring, prevention, and control. You will learn how to select materials and resolve design issues where corrosion is a factor. Handbook of Corrosion Engineering, Third Edition shows, step by step, how to understand, predict, evaluate, mitigate, and correct corrosion problems. This edition provides a new focus on the management of corrosion problems and draws on methodologies and examples from the 2016 IMPACT report. A new chapter discusses corrosion management across governments and industries. Coverage includes: • The functions and roles of a corrosion engineer • Atmospheric corrosion and mapping atmospheric corrosivity • Corrosion in waste water treatment and in water and soils • Corrosion of reinforced concrete • Microbes and biofouling • High-temperature corrosion • Modeling corrosion processes and life prediction • Corrosion failures • Corrosion maintenance through inspection and monitoring • Corrosion management across governments and industries • Selection and design considerations for engineering materials • Protective coatings and corrosion inhibitors • Cathodic and anodic protection




Lectures on Electrochemical Corrosion


Book Description

Workers in the field of corrosion and their students are most fortunate that a happy set of circumstances brought Dr. Marcel Pourbaix into their field in 1949. First, he was invited, while in the USA, to demonstrate at a two week visit to the National Bureau of Standards the usefulness of his electro chemical concepts to the study of corrosion. Secondly, also around the same time, Prof. H. H. Uhlig made a speech before the United Nations which pointed out the tremendous economic consequences of corrosion. Because of these circumstances, Dr. Pourbaix has reminisced, he chose to devote most of his efforts to corrosion rather than to electrolysis, batteries, geology, or any of the other fields where, one might add, they were equally valuable. This decision resulted in his establishing CEBELCOR (Centre BeIge d'Etude de la Corrosion) and in his development of a course at the Free University of Brussels entitled "Lectures on Electrochemical Corrosion." This book is the collection of these lectures translated into English.
