Description

This is an updated new edition of this standard work in corrosion science and engineering. Using a quantitative approach (including basic equations; explained and derived, and illustrative problems), it discusses the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles that cause corrosion and treats practical corrosion problems and methods of protection and prevention. A new chapte r covers cobalt and its alloys, and expanded disccusions focus on electrochemical polarization, cracking, fatigue and steel reinforcements in concrete.
