Corrosion and Corrosion Control, 5th Edition

To reflect the advances since the 4^th edition, the 5^th edition is a unique up-to-date resource reflecting current knowledge of corrosion science and engineering. The new edition includes discussions of new materials such as: nanocrystalline materials, composites and plastics.  It explains how these new materials have driven new applications in new harsh environments, where some of the other older materials had not been considered in the past.

In general the 5^th edition book provides updated explanation of the essential aspects of corrosion science and engineering that underpin the tools and technologies used for managing and controlling corrosion. It uses a quantitative approach (including basic equations--explained and derived--and illustrative problems) to discuss the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles that cause corrosion. It addresses practical corrosion control measures, such as using plastics instead of metals.

The 5^th edition also provides double the number of exercises, problems and worked examples to help increase the pedagogical value of the text.
