Books by Keyword: Corrosion

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The 1990's so far have seen significant developments in Materials Technology in a variety of materials classes such as Metals and Alloys, Ceramics and Coatings, Biomaterials, and Surfaces and Interfaces.

Description: Improvement of only the properties of the surface can largely improve the performance of the entire workpiece. Hence, engineering the surface by the application of surface layers has become of major importance.
Two, principally different routes can be followed to obtain a surface layer: (i) treating the surface of the original material (laser/electron beam hardening, plasma treatments, and thermomechanical treatments like carburizing and nitriding) or (ii) covering the surface with another material.

Description: During the past several years there has been remarkable interest and activity in two fields of the fused salt chemistry, namely Molten Salt Extractive Metallurgy and High-Temperature Fuel Cells.
The required fundamental investigations for improving industrial processes are necessarily devoted to all aspects of the reactivity in molten salts. Therefore, most of the relevant disciplines are represented here: electrochemistry, spectroscopy and computer modelling.

Description: While iron and steel industries are the major users of refractory materials, applications in other areas such as power plants and waste incinerators are of growing importance. The appropriate use and maximum performance of the refractories cannot be achieved unless their interaction with the service environment is properly understood. The correlations between the microstructure of these materials and their thermochemical as well as thermomechanical properties greatly enhances this understanding.

Description: I. Application of Electrochemical Techniques to Various Corrosion Problems. II. Photoelectrochemistry and Electrochemical Noise. III. Studies of Organic and Inorganic Coatings. IV. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. V. Electrochemical Aspects of Localized Corrosion. VI. Novel and Combined Techniques for Corrosion Research. VIl. Corrosion of Steel in Concrete.

Description: These five volumes present approximately 500 contributions from 33 countries, the majority coming from Western Europe, USA, Japan, China and India.

Description: A consistent theory is developed for predicting the incidence of localized corrosion and, most importantly, for the prediction of those substances which should be useful in inhibiting the process.
