      Corrosion: Aqueous Processes and Passive Films deals with the aqueous corrosion of passive films. Pitting and stress corrosion are discussed at length, along with repassivation kinetics and the corrosion resistance of amorphous (or glassy) alloys. The corrosion of anodized films and dental alloys are also considered. Comprised of seven chapters, this volume begins with a discussion on pitting corrosion and three types of pitting, namely, electrochemical depassivation, chemical depassivation, and etch pitting. The reader is then introduced to the theoretical aspects of the corrosion of glassy alloys as well as their resistance to uniform corrosion; localized corrosion; stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement; and applications of corrosion-resistant glassy alloys. Subsequent chapters explore stress corrosion cracking; repassivation kinetics; the nature of anodic films on aluminum, with emphasis on the anodic polarization of aluminum in appropriate solutions; and the corrosion of dental materials. The book concludes by evaluating the use of alternating current techniques in the study of corrosion and passivity. This monograph will be of interest to engineers, metallurgists, and materials scientists.

      Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 18: Ion Implantation is a compendium of the active areas of ion implantation in materials science and technology. Topics covered range from the basic to the applied aspects of metallurgy, chemistry, and solid-state physics. The focus is on the non-electronic applications of ion implantation in materials, with main emphasis on metals. Comprised of 11 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of ion implantation, including its characteristics and history; advantages and limitations; status of industrial applications; and equipment and costs. The discussion then turns to ion bombardment effects on material composition; the use of ion implantation in investigating alloys that consist primarily of thermodynamic equilibrium phases; and the formation of metastable phases in alloys during the implantation process. Subsequent chapters deal with the use of ion implantation to study superconductivity as well as the behavior of hydrogen in solids; the effect of ion implantation on aqueous corrosion; manufacturing applications of ion implantation; and chemical properties of ion-implanted materials. The book concludes with an analysis of the optical effects of ion implantation. This monograph will be a useful resource for practitioners and researchers in the fields of physics, metallurgy, chemistry, and materials science.
