Corrosion.. Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection (10ed., ASM, 2003)(ISBN 0871707055)(2597s) opt

The first book in a two-volume revision of the 1987 Metals Handbook, 9th edition , addresses the needs of the global technical community for current information. Chapters on fundamentals cover the theory of aqueous and gaseous corrosion from thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives, while chapters on forms of corrosion tell how to recognize different types and the forces that influence them. Testing and evaluation methods are addressed as are methods of protection and topics related to redesigning for corrosion control and prevention. A section on tools for the corrosionist provides conventions and definitions, information sources and databases, and information on analytical instruments. The editors are affiliated with the Albany Research Center, US Department of Energy.

Annotation :2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) ASM Handbook, Vol. 13 Fundamentals, Protection and Prevention The purpose of ASM Handbook, Volume 13 Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection is to help engineers and designers understand corrosion so that they can solve existing corrosion problems and prevent future ones. It should be the first book you select when researching a corrosion problem. The coverage of the volume has been completely revised to ensure that it is the most comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date resource available. Each article is indexed to other appropriate sections of the Handbook, and each provides a road map to the thousands of individual bibliographical references that were used to compile the information. v. 1. Properties and selection irons, steels, and high-performance alloys v. 2. Properties and selection nonferrous alloys and special-purpose materials v. 3. Alloy phase diagrams v. 4. Heat treating v. 5. Surface engineering v. 6. Welding, brazing, and soldering v. 7. Powder metal technologies and applications v. 8. Mechanical testing and evaluation v. 11. Failure analysis and prevention v. 13A Corrosion: fundamentals, testing, and protection v. 19. Fatigue and fracture v. 20. Materials selection and design v. 21. Composites. These volumes cover the properties, processing, and applications of metals and nonmetallic engineering materials. They are designed to provide the authoritative information and data necessary for the appropriate selection of materials to meet critical design and performance criteria
