M3 INSIDIA TANKI SERIES
This multidisciplinary series is devoted to professionals, students and all those interested in the latest developments in the Materials Science field.Ĭorrosion Science and Engineering Edited by Luciano Lazzari and MariaPia Pedeferri In Cooperation with Marco Ormellese, Andrea Brenna, Silvia Beretta, Fabio Bolzoni, Maria Vittoria Diamanti The individual volumes are complete, comprehensive monographs covering the structure, properties, manufacturing process and applications of these materials. The “Engineering Materials” series provides topical information on innovative, structural and functional materials and composites with applications in optical, electronical, mechanical, civil, aeronautical, medical, bio and nano engineering. As such, the book offers the ideal learning resource for all students of corrosion courses in chemical, mechanical, energy and materials engineering at the graduate and advanced undergraduate level, as well as a valuable reference guide for engineers whose work involves real-world applications.Ĭorrosion Science and Engineering Edited by Luciano Lazzari and MariaPia Pedeferri



All chapters include exercises and practical examples to help students understand, predict, evaluate and mitigate corrosion problems.

A final chapter is dedicated to the use of statistics in corrosion. Such basic knowledge is fundamental to understanding the “corrosion engineering” approach applied to the durability of metals immersed in water, buried in soil, exposed to the atmosphere, used in reinforced concrete, in the human body and in petrochemical plants, or at risk of high-temperature corrosion. In addition, the book addresses basic aspects of corrosion science, including the electrochemical mechanism, thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, the use of Pourbaix and Evans diagrams, and various forms of corrosion (from uniform to localised to stress corrosion phenomena) as well as the protection systems adopted to combat corrosion, including inhibitors, coatings and cathodic protection. Throughout the textbook, the science and engineering of corrosion are merged to help readers perform correct corrosion assessments in both the design phase and plant management phase, and to define the optimal protection technique. This textbook discusses the latest advances in the corrosion of metals and related protection methods, and explores all corrosion-related aspects used in natural and industrial environments, including monitoring and testing.
