Review:
By R. Darby, Texas A&M University Roberge's weighty tome is designed as a guide for the practicing engineer. The level of presentation is largely qualitative and descriptive, with the more qualitative subjects relegated to the appendixes (e.g., electrochemistry basics, thermodynamics, and E-pH diagrams, etc.). Eleven chapters and seven appendixes are included...Liberal use is made of pictures, tables diagrams, etc. and an extensive list of references is given at the end of each chapter. The book can be read by those with little or no previous background in the subject area and contains a liberal amount of "practical" information. Upper-division undergraduates; professionals; two-year technical program students. Choice 20000501
Synopsis:
This guide helps to reduce the enormous economic and environmental impact of corrosion. Emphasizing quantitative techniques, this guide provides you with: theory essential for understanding aqueous, atmospheric, and high temperature corrosion processes; corrosion resistance data for various materials; management techniques for dealing with corrosion control, including life prediction and cost analysis, information systems, and knowledge re-use; techniques for the detection, analysis, and prevention of corrosion damage, including protective coatings and cathodic protection; and more.
