Called "a useful contribution to the current litereture on corrosion science, engineering, and technology" by Corrosion Review, this book offers real-world applications and problem-solving techniques to reduce the occurrence of pits, cracks, and deterioration in industrial, automotive, marine, and electronic structures. It details the electrochemical and chemical properties, adsorption mechanisms, environmental parameters, and microstructural factors that influence corrosion formation. Well-organizes and well-written, it contains three new chapters discussing crevice corrosion, corrosion fatigue behavior in metallic materials and hydrogen adsorption and entry into metals.
