Shreir L.L., Jarman R.A., Burstein G.T. (Eds.) Corrosion, Volume II: Corrosion Control

3rd ed. - Butterworth-Heinemann, 2000. — 1478 p. — ISBN 0 7506 1077 8.The enormous scope of the subject of corrosion follows from the definition which has been adopted in the present work. Corrosion will include all reactions at a metal/environment interface irrespective of whether the reaction is beneficial or detrimental to the metal concerned - no distinction is made between chemical or electropolishing of a metal in an acid and the adventitious deterioration of metal plant by acid attack. It follows, therefore, that a comprehensive work on the subject of corrosion should include an account of batteries, electrorefining, chemical machining, chemical and electrochemical polishing, etc.
The huge success of the first two editions of Corrosion has inevitably created the demand for a third edition. Corrosion science and technology, like most of the physical sciences, has progressed and advanced significantly in the seventeen years since the second edition was published. Such knowledge requires transferral from the laboratory and the journal literature to the wider audience: the student, the teacher, the engineer, the metallurgist and workers in other fields who require knowledge and understanding of the interactions of materials with their environments.Design and Economic Aspects of Corrosion
