Title: Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice
Description: Revised and expanded to reflect the latest advances in the field, this reference details the electrochemical and chemical properties, adsorption mechanisms, environmental parameters, and microstructural factors that influence corrosion formation-offering real-world applications and problem-solving techniques to reduce the occurrence of pits, cracks, and deterioration in industrial, automotive, marine, and electronic structures.       Contains three new chapters discussing crevice corrosion, corrosion fatigue behavior in metallic materials and hydrogen adsorption and entry into metals!The Second Edition of Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice exploresthe effect of absorbed sulfur on anodic dissolution, passivation, and the breakdown of filmsthe use of organic molecules to prevent degradationthe role of surface reactions in the corrosion of metals and alloyssurface reactions and modification techniques, such as molecular self-assembly and plasma polymerizationand offersmodels depicting stress-corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlementexamples of electrochemical and mechanical coupling during crack fatigue in stainless steelsmethods to reduce the influence of microorganisms in the degradation of materialsaccelerated-aging techniques for determining the reliability of microelectronic and magnetic data-storage devices Supplemented with nearly 2000 contemporary references, Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice, Second Edition is an authoritative source for chemical, materials, corrosion, mechanical, design, process, metallurgical, manufacturing, and industrial engineers; materials scientists; surface chemists; applied physicists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
