Description
Book SynopsisThe most up-to-date, comprehensive volume on cathodic protection available
The causes and results of corrosion in industrial settings are some of the most important and difficult problems that engineers and scientists face on a daily basis. Coming up with solutions, or not, is often the difference between success and failure, and can have severe economic and environmental consequences. This timely volume covers the state of the art in corrosion chemistry today, for use in industrial applications or as a textbook.
Cathodic Protection:
- Covers the theoretical aspects of cathodic protection and the science of the process
- Provides practical, workable solutions to the everyday problems that engineers working in the field have with corrosion
- Is applicable in many different industries, literally anywhere there might be corrosion
As a companion to his first book, Corrosion Chemistry, published by Wiley-Scr
