Publisher's Synopsis
A review of important test methods in corrosion, commencing with a basic theoretical introduction and discussing different types of corrosion and means of application. The main emphasis lies in the presentation of experiments and results, giving readers the opportunity to complete such experiments and monitor results. They can carry out investigations and tests according to the present state of knowledge and with consideration for relevant standards and regulations currently in force.;Corrosion science has its roots in several other sciences, and areas such as electrochemistry can cause problems for engineers, whereas metallurgy and its test methods frequently create difficulties for chemists and physicists. This is a handbook which scientists and engineers can apply to fundamental mechanisms of corrosion as well as to techniques of corrosion prevention.
