The most up-to-date and thorough coverage of corrosion engineering available

Corrosion costs billions of dollars to each and every single economy in the world. Corrosion is a chemical process, and it is crucial to understand the dynamics from a chemical perspective before proceeding with analyses, designs and solutions from an engineering angle. The opposite is also true in the sense that scientists should take into consideration the contemporary aspects of the issue as it relates to daily life before proceeding with specifically designed theoretical solutions. Corrosion Engineering is recommended to both theoreticians and practitioners of corrosion study alike.

Corrosion engineering is a joint discipline associated primarily with major engineering sciences such as chemical engineering, civil engineering, petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering, mining engineering, and others. Corrosion engineering also plays a fundamental role in scientific disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology, and microbiology.

Corrosion Engineering is a must-have reference book that covers the corrosion process with respect to both its scientific and engineering aspects. It is also a valuable textbook that can be used in engineering or scientific courses on corrosion at the university level.

Some of the benefits included in Corrosion Engineering:

• The theory of corrosion is given with a broad definition of corrosion, including factors affecting the corrosion processes and the types of corrosion, based on corrosion mechanisms and the media along with characteristics of metal alloys that are commonly used and liable to corrosion.
• The nature of protective metal oxide films are explained along with aggressive chemical anions that disintegrate these metal oxide films.
• Major corrosion prevention methods are explained that are anodic and cathodic chemical inhibitors, and protective coatings.
• Corrosion prevention methods in engineering sciences such as cathodic protection are discussed with a focus on steel and concrete structures that relate to mostly civil and petroleum engineering.

READERSHIP:

Corrosion scientists, chemists and chemical engineers, material scientists, civil engineers, petroleum engineers, metallurgical engineers, mechanical engineers, mining engineers, agricultural engineers, and electrical engineers may benefit from the content within this book. It is also a must-have for students and professors in engineering, materials, and chemistry.
