Principles and Prevention of Corrosion

From Book News, Inc.
A revised and updated textbook (first edition, 1992) for introductory engineering courses at the senior/graduate level, or reference for researchers and practicing engineers. The emphasis is on the principles and methods leading to reasonable mitigation of the great majority of corrosion problems in engineering practice. An instructor's manual, available on request from the publisher, contains solutions to the exercises that conclude each chapter, and a set of multiple choice questions for further discussion or examination.

The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
Comprehensive in approach, this text explores the scientific principles and methods that underlie the cause, detection, measurement, and prevention of many metal corrosion problems in engineering practice. Most chapters progress from qualitative, descriptive sections (including methods of prevention and testing), to more quantitative sections (involving metallurgy and electrochemistry), and finally to sections on current research developments in the chapter topic.
