Fundamentals of Metallic Corrosion

Fundamentals of Metallic Corrosion: Atmospheric and Media Corrosion of Metals examines different forms of metallic corrosion and the effects of atmospheric corrodents, weathering conditions, and natural media including water, acids, salts, organics, and gases. Presenting chapters divided by metal types and their alloys, the book covers stainless, ferritic, and martensitic steels as well as nickel alloys, copper, copper alloys, aluminum, titanium, zinc, and lead. Each chapter examines the corrosion potential of the material and provides easy-to-use charts and references to further compatibility data with selected corrodents. The book also compares the corrosion resistance of nonferrous metals and alloys.
