Synopsis

This book is designed for the reader who has a basic knowledge of corrosion processes but who needs more practical, specific information on combating metallic corrosion in soils. It discusses soil corrosion problems that currently face us and explains why they have increased so rapidly in importance. The properties and variations of soils are discussed, so that estimates of soil corrosivities can be made, and also the types of corrosion most commonly found in soil, with particular emphasis on the most serious corrosion problems. This text also covers ways to prevent or stop corrosion, with cathodic protection being the most used and consequently the method given the most emphasis. Readers of this book will gain an understanding in how to tackle their problems, along with a knowledge of the extensive support available to them in the way of modern test instruments and protection equipment.
