Corrosion due to water is one of the most significant and complex causes
of damage to metallic products. Written from the viewpoint of physical
chemistry, this authoritative and established text deals with the
aqueous corrosion of metals. Available for the first time in English,
Corrosion of Metal addressing engineers, metallurgists, physicists
and chemists. This self-contained, valuable reference comprehensively
organizes and makes readily accessible the accumulated wealth of
fundamental and applied knowledge. The concentration is on the
underlying essentials of corrosion and failure, and the material is
consistently presented in relation to practical applications to
corrosion protection. The first chapters introducing the physicochemical
principles are ideal for students. The following chapters provide an
overview of the state of research for those familiar with the
fundamentals. An exhaustive bibliography and appendices conclude the
volume.
