CORROSION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - PIETRO PEDE...

This textbook discusses the latest advances in the corrosion of metals and related protection
methods  and explores all corrosion-related aspects used in natural and industrial environments
including monitoring and testing. Throughout the textbook  the science and engineering of
corrosion are merged to help readers perform correct corrosion assessments in both the design
phase and plant management phase  and to define the optimal protection technique. In addition 
the book addresses basic aspects of corrosion science  including the electrochemical mechanism
thermodynamic and kinetic aspects  the use of Pourbaix and Evans diagrams  and various forms of
corrosion (from uniform to localised to stress corrosion phenomena)  as well as the protection
systems adopted to combat corrosion  including inhibitors  coatings and cathodic protection.
Such basic knowledge is fundamental to understanding the corrosion engineering approach applied
to the durability of metals immersed in water buried in soil  exposed to the atmosphere  used
in reinforced concrete  in the human body and in petrochemical plants  or at risk of
high-temperature corrosion. A final chapter is dedicated to the use of statistics in corrosion.
All chapters include exercises and practical examples to help students understand  predict 
evaluate and mitigate corrosion problems. As such  the book offers the ideal learning resource
for all students of corrosion courses in chemical  mechanical  energy and materials engineering
at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level  as well as a valuable reference guide for
engineers whose work involves real-world applications.
