Corrosion Resistance of Steels Against Inorganic Acids

This must-have reference for all mechanical, civil and chemical engineers, material scientists and chemists working with steel or acidic media explains how to strengthen the corrosion resistance of steels as reaction, transport and storage devices against omnipresent and aggressive inorganic acids.

SUBJECT INDEX

Michael Schutze, born in 1952, studied materials sciences at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg from 1972 to 1978, and then joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of DECHEMA as a research associate. He received his doctorate in engineering sciences from the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH) in 1983, and his lecturing qualification in 1991, becoming a member of the external teaching staff of the RWTH, where he has held a professorship since 1998 and has been director of the Karl Winnacker Institute since 1996. He is a recipient of the Friedrich Wilhelm Prize, the Rahmel Schwenk Medal and the Cavallaro Medal, a past chairman of the Gordon Research Conference on Corrosion, editor of the journal Materials and Corrosion, past president of the European Federation of Corrosion, and of the World Corrosion Organization, as well as chairman of the Working Party Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products of the European Federation of Corrosion.

Thomas L. Ladwein, born in 1955, studied chemistry and metallurgy at the Universities of Saarbrucken and Munster, and graduated with a Diploma in Chemistry in 1980 and a PhD in Sciences in 1984. After that he worked as a R&D and application engineer for a chemical fabricator specialized in refractory metals. In 1987 he joined the stainless steel divison of Thyssen AG (later ThyssenKrupp AG) and worked there in several positions in R&D, application engineering and technical marketing. Since 2003 he is full time professor for electrochemistry, corrosion and tribology at Aalen University of Applied Science. He works in various committees and working parties of DECHEMA, GfKORR (German Corrosion Society), VDEh (German Iron and Steel Institute) and NACE International. He is current chair of the NACE committee "STG 39: Process Industries - Materials Applications and Experiences" and chairman of the NACE European Area. In 2011 he received the Herbert H. Uhlig Award from NACE International.
