Using a quantitative approach (including basic equations, explained and derived, and illustrative problems), this volume discusses the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles that cause corrosion and treats practical corrosion problems and methods of protection and prevention. A new chapter covers cobalt and its alloys, and expanded discussions focus on electrochemical polarization, cracking, fatigue and steel reinforcements in concrete. Selected Contents: Definition and Importance; Passivity; Atmospheric Corrosion of Iron and Other Metals; Oxidation and Tarnish; Metallic Coatings; Inorganic Coatings; Inhibitors and Passivators; Treatment of Water and Steam Systems; Alloying for Corrosion Resistance; Stainless Steels; Aluminum and Magnesium; Cobalt and Cobalt Alloys; Silicon-Iron-and Silicon-Nickel Alloys; Problems
