SpringerBriefs in Materials Surface Chemistry of Aqueous Corrosion Processes - Edward McCafferty Kartoniert (TB)

This SpringerBrief utilizes a surface chemistry physical chemistry approach toward the study of aqueous corrosion processes. The book starts with a timely and in-depth review of Acid-Base Properties of Surface Oxide Films. Acid-base properties are significant in various surface phenomena such as general and localized corrosion corrosion inhibition by organic molecules and the adhesion of organic polymers to oxide-covered metals. This review also discusses the relationship between the two measures of surface charge the isoelectric point of the oxide film and the potential of zero charge of t he oxide-covered metal. Other topics included are capillarity and corrosion corrosion inhibition passivity of Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Ni alloys the uptake of chloride Ions and the pitting of aluminum and the formation of water films on the iron oxide surface.
