Reviews

The book is published as a resource for corrosion scientists, metallurgists, engineers and designers as well as professional researchers and students. It fits that description well and would be a useful addition to any library dealing with materials. -Dr. Leslie Barnard, CEng, MIMMMaterials World Magazine, July 1, 2012
