Revie R.W., Uhlig H.H. Corrosion and Сorrosion Control: An Introduction to Corrosion Science and Engineering

Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken New Jersey, 2008. — 513 pages.The classic book on corrosion science and engineering-now in a valuable new edition. The ability to prevent failures by managing corrosion is one of the main global challengesof the twenty-first century. However, most practicing engineers and technologists have only a basic understanding of how they can actively participate in this urgent economic and environmental issue. Now, students and professionals can turn to this newly revised edition of the trusted Corrosion and Corrosion Control for coverage of the latest developments in the field, including advances in knowledge, new alloys for corrosion control, and industry developments in response to public demand.Definition and importance of corrosion
