Description: "The only reference to treat corrosion quantitatively and as a management issue, the Handbook of Corrosion Engineering bypasses complex physical theory to give engineers, designers, managers, and students an in-the-trenches guide to economic decision-making and hands-on corrosion control.

Whether in the area of aqueous, atmospheric, or high-temperature corrosion, if you're looking for a real-world, solution-based source of corrosion fundamentals, the Handbook of Corrosion Engineering is all the reference you need."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
