Covering the essential aspects of the corrosion behavior of metals in aqueous environments, this book is designed with the flexibility needed for use in courses for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, for concentrated courses in industry, for individual study and as a reference book. Contents: Overview of aqueous corrosion Electrochemical background on electrode reactions (includes use of Pourbaix diagrams) Electrochemical background on electrode kinetics How the corrosion rate is established (includes use of polarization curves) Corrosion behavior of active-passive type metals Principles and procedures of electrochemical measurements Localized corrosion phenomena and corrosion processes.
