Forms of Corrosion-Recognition and Prevention is a deep and broad compendium of the theory and practice of corrosion engineering.This Second Edition of the classic handbook combines Volomes 1 and 2 of the First Edition into a single volume, adding updated commentary and many new case histories. Mechanisms and numerous case histories illustrate general, localized and galvanic corrosion, environmental cracking, erosion-corrosion, cavitation, fretting, intergranular attack, dealloying, and high-temperature corrosion.

This book presents detailed corrosion mechanisms and case histories of a wide variety of corrosion problems from chemical plants, oil production and refining, utilities, pipelines, transport by air, land, and sea, electronics, and the preservation of historical artifacts. The uses of advanced analytical techniques such as electron microscopy, metallography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, A�ger spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques are presented to illustrate their utility in corrosion failure investigations.

The purpose of this handbook is to introduce the reader to the eight forms of corrosion and illustrate the forms’ macro- and microappearances as they occur in conventional engineering metals and alloys. Diagrams are occasionally employed to illustrate mechanisms, but photographs and photomicrographs are employed whenever possible, together with case histories, to aid understanding of the situations discussed and the means taken to ameliorate them.

The eight forms of corrosion overlap to some extent. For example, dealloying (sometimes called “parting corrosion” in older texts) may follow a uniform mode (e.g., layer-type dezincification) or may be highly localized
(e.g., plug-type dezincification). Galvanic or “two-metal” corrosion may manifest itself either as general or uniform corrosion or as localized attack, depending on the geometry and conductivity in a specific situation. One type of corrosion may mitigate another, as when the erosion-corrosion of heat exchanger tubes at the inlet end is diminished by the galvanic influence of a water box.

Users will find the Forms of Corrosion-Recognition and Prevention, Second Edition to be an exceptionally deep and broad reference work useful for not only diagnosing corrosion failures but applying the measures necessary to prevent recurrence.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
