Overview

Includes identification of the various forms of corrosion, critical factors leading to a specific type of corrosion, necessary preventive steps to eliminate or reduce corrosion damage, protective-coating selection, corrosion characteristics of common structural materials, corrosion- testing programs, and failure-analysis procedures. This book presents a practical 'how to' approach to understanding and solving the problems of corrosion of structural materials. Although it is written mainly for those having a limited technical background in corrosion, it also provides more experienced engineers with a useful overview of the principles of corrosion and can be used as a general guide for developing a corrosion-control program. Contents include: The Effects and Economic Impact of Corrosion Basic Concepts Important to Corrosion Principles of Aqueous Corrosion Forms of Corrosion: Recognition and Prevention Types of Corrosive Environments Corrosion Characteristics of Structural Materials Corrosion Control by Proper Design Corrosion Control by Materials Selection Corrosion Control by Protective Coatings and Inhibitors Corrosion Control by Cathodic and Anodic Protection Corrosion Testing and Monitoring Techniques for Diagnosis of Corrosion Failures Glossary of Corrosion-Related Terms.
