About this title

From the Back Cover:

Presents a comprehensive look at atmospheric corrosion, combining expertise in corrosion science and atmospheric chemistry

Atmospheric corrosion has been a subject of engineering study, largely empirical, for nearly a century. Scientists came to the field rather later on, and had considerable difficulty bringing their arsenal of tools to bear on the problem. Atmospheric corrosion was traditionally studied by specialists in corrosion having little knowledge of atmospheric chemistry, history, or prospects.

Atmospheric Corrosion provides a combined approach bringing together experimental corrosion and atmospheric chemistry. The second edition expands on this approach by including environmental aspects of corrosion, atmospheric corrosion modeling, and international corrosion exposure programs. The combination of specialties provides a more comprehensive coverage of the topic. These scientific insights into the corrosion process and its amelioration are the focus of this book.

Key topics include:

• Basic principles of atmospheric corrosion chemistry
• Corrosion mechanisms in controlled and uncontrolled environments
• Degradation of materials in architectural, transport and structural applications, electronic devices, and cultural artifacts
• Protecting existing materials and choosing new ones that resist corrosion
• Predicting how and where atmospheric corrosion may evolve in the future

Complete with appendices discussing experimental techniques, computer models, and the degradation of specific metals, Atmospheric Corrosion, Second Edition continues to be an invaluable resource for corrosion scientists, corrosion engineers, conservators, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the theory and application of this evolving field. This book concerns primarily the atmospheric corrosion of metals and is written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in any of the physical or engineering sciences.
