Description

Engineering Tools for Corrosion: Design and Diagnosis proposes models and equations derived from theory. It includes discussions of the estimation of main corrosion parameters for corrosion rate, electrochemical constraints, thresholds limits and initiation time. The algorithms proposed are the conjugation of theory and engineering practice resulting from research and professional activities carried out by the author for almost four decades.

Key features

  • Presents a rational approach to the corrosion prediction and evaluation dilemma
  • Illustrates new models and algorithms for quantitative estimation of corrosion related factors and parameters
  • Includes the design and interpretation of accelerated corrosion tests

Readership

Corrosion engineers, materials scientists, researchers in the areas of oil and gas, chemical and refinery, industrial plants
