DESCRIPTION:
Comprehensive approach to scientific principles and methods that underlie the cause, detection, measurement and prevention of many metal corrosion problems engineering practices.
From the Publisher Comprehensive in approach, this text explores the scientific principles and methods that underlie the cause, detection, measurement, and prevention of many metal corrosion problems in engineering practice. Most chapters progress from qualitative, descriptive sections (including methods of prevention and testing), to more quantitative sections (involving metallurgy and electrochemistry), and finally to sections on current research developments in the chapter topic.
Average text on important subject This textbook was my undergraduate text on aqueous corrosion. I would classify it as average:The writing is somewhat ambiguous in spots. This was reinforced I looked over the book a second time in preparation for PhD qualifying exams.Problems with it:1. Inconsistent notation. Many reaction potentials are subscripted as anodic, but the Nernst equation immediately following is written for the cathodic f. Very good overview of corrosion Emilija Mayer This was not a required book for my first level graduate school course, but it was recommended and I am glad that I purchased it. It was a very helpful supplement to the lecture notes. I would recommend this book for a great overview of corrosion with details on specific metals and alloys, but for those who want a highly technical, in-depth look into corrosion other titles might be more comprehensive.. Good book. But I wish there was a newer Good book. But I wish there was a newer edition. The figures are too dark and the quality of the paper is not good.
