Corrosion: Understanding the Basics

Abstract

Corrosion: Understanding the Basics, presents a “how to” approach to understanding and solving the problems of corrosion of structural materials. The book is written for both personnel with limited technical knowledge and more experienced corrosion engineers; it provides overviews of the principles of corrosion and can be used as a general guide for developing a corrosion-control program. The book identifies various forms of corrosion, types of corrosion, corrosion characteristics of common structural materials, necessary preventive steps to eliminate or reduce corrosion damage, corrosion-testing programs, and failure-analysis procedures.
