This book serves as a comprehensive reference on the fundamental principles of corrosion science and engineering. Corrosion management is critically important for the effective and efficient use of materials in addressing today’s three major global challenges: energy, water, and air.

Key Topics of the Book:

Corrosion Management and Applications:

The role of corrosion control in high-pressure steel pipelines, the design and operation of nuclear power plants, and nuclear waste management.

Protective strategies for metals and alloys such as steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium.

The impact of environmental regulations like the EPA Lead and Copper Rule on corrosion control.

From Fundamentals to Specific Applications:

Fundamental scientific tools such as Pourbaix diagrams, thermodynamic and kinetic analyses.

New alloys, protective coatings, and technologies used in various industries.

Current Technologies and Research:

Modern measurement methods such as galvanic series, critical pitting temperatures (CPT), and critical pitting potentials (CPP).

Corrosion of steel reinforcements in reinforced concrete structures and durability demands in nuclear reactors.

Target Audience:

This book is designed as a textbook for students who need foundational knowledge of corrosion science and engineering. It is also a starting point and reference resource for researchers and engineers.
