Metallurgy Metallurgy January 2001 May 2000 Corrosion. Theory and Applications L. P. Pook January 2001 Corrosion. The word corrosion comes from the Latin corrodere , which means 'to gnaw to pieces'.
Corrosion is a complex phenomenon.
This book examines the basic concepts that influence the corrosion process. This book aims to present the different approaches to this topic in a single complete volume. It describes the recent advances in continuum damage mechanics for metals and metal matrix composites, with emphasis on the theoretical formulation of the different constitutive models in this area. In addition, there are sections that demonstrate applications of the theory. A chapter is also included on experimental investigations and comparisons with theoretical literature.
