Introduction to Corrosion Engineering Mouafak a Zaher

Despite considerable progress in integration of materials by design into engineering development of products, corrosion considerations are typically missing from such constructs. Similarly, conditions monitoring and remaining life prediction do not at present incorporate corrosion factors. Great opportunities exist to use the framework of these materials design and engineering tools to stimulate corrosion research and development to achieve quantitative life prediction, to incorporate state-of-the-art sensing approaches into experimentation and materials architectures, and to introduce environmental degradation factors into these capabilities. The book is designed to serve many purposes: It can be used for undergraduate courses in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemistry and material science courses, graduate courses, intensive short courses, in-plant training, self study, and as a useful reference text for plant engineers and maintenance personnel. Also intended for practicing corrosion engineers and energy engineers
