<i>Corrosion Prevention and Protection: Practical Solutions</i> presents a functional approach to the various forms of corrosion, such as uniform corrosion, pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, stress corrosion, hydrogen-induced damage, sulphide stress cracking, erosion-corrosion, and corrosion fatigue in various industrial environments. <p>The book is split into two parts. The first, consisting of five chapters:</p> <ul> <li> <div>Introduction and Principles (Fundamentals) of Corrosion</div> </li> <li> <div>Corrosion Testing, Detection, Monitoring and Failure Analysis</div> </li> <li> <div>Regulations, Specifications and Safety</div> </li> <li> <div>Materials: Metals, Alloys, Steels and Plastics</div> </li> <li> <div>Corrosion Economics and Corrosion Management</div> </li> </ul> <p>The second part of the book consists of two chapters which present:</p> <ul> <li> <div>a discussion of corrosion reactions, media, active and active-passive corrosion behaviour and the various forms of corrosion,</div> </li> <li> <div>a collection of case histories and practical solutions which span a wide range of industrial problems in a variety of frequently encountered environments, including statues & monuments, corrosion problems in metallurgical and mineral processing plants, boilers, heat exchangers and cooling towers, aluminum and copper alloys, galvanized steel structures as well as hydrogeological environmental corrosion</div> </li> </ul> <p>This text is relevant to researchers and practitioners, engineers and chemists, working in corrosion in industry, government laboratories and academia. It is also suitable as a course text for engineering students as well as libraries related to chemical and chemical engineering institutes and research departments.</p>
