Professional Corrosion Engineering Handbook
from C.H.I.P.S.
Handbook of Corrosion Engineering
edited by Pierre R. Roberge

Hands-on approach to corrosion.

Corrosion has an enormous economic and environmental impact on industrialized societies, from its effect on the reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete infrastructure to aging networks of buried piplines and electronic systems and more.

Emphasizing quantitative techniques, Handbook of Corrosion Engineering provides you with:

  • Theory essential for understanding aqueous, atmospheric, and high temperature corrosion processes
  • Corrosion resistance data for various materials
  • Management techniques for dealing with corrosion control, including life prediction and cost analysis, information systems, and knowledge re-use
  • Techniques for the detection, analysis, and prevention of corrosion damage, including protective coatings and cathodic protection
