Corrosion and protection of metals and alloys Fundamentals and engineering

The book is designed as a reference guide to the field of corrosion and corrosion control. It covers four successive but complementary aspects of corrosion, each one comprising several chapters and perspectives: electrochemical corrosion and surface interactions, corrosion processes and corrosion modes, corrosion engineering, corrosion control. It features contributions from 40 scientists and engineers, each one having been selected for their thorough knowledge, understanding and expertise in the assigned field. As such, it will prove to be an invaluable read for those involved in this area.
