Protection of Metals from Corrosion in Storage and Transit - Ellis Horwood Series Corrosion & Its Prevention.

This is an exposition of the problems of corrosion and the principles of protection presented in such a way that they can be applied to a wide range of engineering disciplines and designs. The text is accessible to technical specialists, but omits chemical formulae; it offers guidance to designers in guarding against corrosion and should be useful in the training of specialists in quality assurance in metal-finishing techniques.;An insight is given into the scientific backgound and the basic mechanisms encountered in widely-used engineering metals, and the author traces the hazards of metals from corrosion in manufacture, transit and storage, through to the point where goods reach their final destination whilst including sufficient corrosion theory to carry the reader through the text.;The scope of the book not only reflects the author's practical experience in corrosion mechanisms and research, assessing the susceptibility of corrosion alloys, evaluating the protection offered by metal finishes, and exploring the properties of new materials, but also refers to the many recent changes in materials transport, storage conditions and manufacturing methods.
