An Introduction to Cathodic Protection


Book Description

Cathodic protection is a method to reduce corrosion by minimizing the difference in potential between anode and cathode. This is achieved by applying a current to the structure to be protected (such as a pipeline) from some outside source. When enough current is applied, the whole structure will be at one potential; thus, anode and cathode sites will not exist. Cathodic protection is commonly used on many types of structures, such as pipelines, underground storage tanks, locks, and ship hulls.

Corrosion Engineering and Cathodic Protection Handbook


Book Description

The Corrosion Engineering and Cathodic Protection Handbook combines the author's previous three works, Corrosion Chemistry, Cathodic Protection, and Corrosion Engineering to offer, in one place, the most comprehensive and thorough work available to the engineer or student. The author has also added a tremendous and exhaustive list of questions and answers based on the text, which can be used in university courses or industry courses, something that has never been offered before in this format. The Corrosion Engineering and Cathodic Protection Handbook is a must-have reference book for the engineer in the field, covering the process of corrosion from a scientific and engineering aspect, along with the prevention of corrosion in industrial applications. It is also a valuable textbook, with the addition of the questions and answers section creating a unique book that is nothing short of groundbreaking. Useful in solving day-to-day problems for the engineer, and serving as a valuable learning tool for the student, this is sure to be an instant contemporary classic and belongs in any engineer's library.




Principles of Corrosion Engineering and Corrosion Control


Book Description

Corrosion is a huge issue for materials, mechanical, civil and petrochemical engineers. With comprehensive coverage of the principles of corrosion engineering, this book is a one-stop text and reference for students and practicing corrosion engineers. Highly illustrated, with worked examples and definitions, it covers basic corrosion principles, and more advanced information for postgraduate students and professionals. Basic principles of electrochemistry and chemical thermodynamics are incorporated to make the book accessible for students and engineers who do not have prior knowledge of this area. Each form of corrosion covered in the book has a definition, description, mechanism, examples and preventative methods. Case histories of failure are cited for each form. End of chapter questions are accompanied by an online solutions manual.* Comprehensively covers the principles of corrosion engineering, methods of corrosion protection and corrosion processes and control in selected engineering environments* Structured for corrosion science and engineering classes at senior undergraduate and graduate level, and is an ideal reference that readers will want to use in their professional work* Worked examples, extensive end of chapter exercises and accompanying online solutions and written by an expert from a key pretochemical university
