Corrosion and Corrosion Protection Handbook

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 12 December 1988

Continuing to provide excellent, state-of-the-art information on corrosion and practicalsolutions for reducing corrosion, the Second Edition contains valuable suggestionson how to select the best construction material for a specific application . . . choose anappropriate initial design to avoid inherent corrosion pitfalls . .. determine whatcorrosion problems may exist or develop, as well as the possible extent of the problems. .. and establish practices to monitor corrosion of existing equipment.In addition to significantly revising and expanding all chapters to reflect recent progressin the field, such as the development of materials for pollution control and methods ofcontrolling/preventing corrosion, Corrosion and Corrosion ProtectionHandbook, Second Edition features detailed discussions on such new topics asatmospheric corrosion, designing to prevent corrosion, sheet linings, and corrosioninhibitors.

Corrosion Resistance of Elastomers

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 1 March 1990

This unique, hands-on guide helps engineers, architects, and designers chose the best synthetic elastomer to meet specific industrial needs. Organized for quick, easy access to the material, Corrosion Resistance of Elastomers provides a separate chapter for each elastomer with detailed information on physical and mechanical properties; resistance to sun, weather, and ozone; chemical resistance; and suitable applications. This outstanding reference features a comprehensive table illustrating the compatibility of each elastomer with more than 100 corrosives.
Saving readers time and money, and sparing them the agony of correcting bad choices, is of immediate benefit to materials, chemical, mechanical, civil, metallurgical, packaging, product development, maintenance, and environmental engineers; architects; industrial and household product designers; and advanced undergraduate students in these disciplines.

Corrosion-Resistant Piping Systems

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 6 January 1994

This work presents a step-by-step procedure for determining the most suitable piping material for any given situation. It describes all corrosion-resistant piping systems - including thermoset and thermoplastic, lined and metallic systems and miscellaneous systems such as glass, carbon and clay. A compatibility table for each piping system, compiling the corrosion resistance of over 175 common corrodents, is provided.

Atmospheric Degradation and Corrosion Control

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 9 July 1999

This volume offers solutions to the problems associated with atmospheric corrosion by covering corrosion theory, the mechanisms and effects of corrosion on specific materials, and the means of protecting materials against atmospheric conditions. It assesses the financial cost of protecting construction materials against the elements and it considers temperature, humidity, and the presence of contaminants in the air to optimize the ability of materials to withstand the influence of weathering.

Corrosion Engineering Handbook - 3 Volume Set

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 1 July 1996

Corrosion can be both costly and dangerous, resulting in product contamination or loss as well as structural instability and premature failure. This handbook contains information necessary for ensuring that, regardless of the structure being built, the materials selected for construction will minimize corrosion and its consequences.

Nearly t

Encyclopedia of Corrosion Technology

by Schweitzer, Philip A Schweitzer, and Philip a Schweitzer P E Schweitzer

Published 6 March 1998

This reference explains types of corrosion, defines metallurgical and other terms and outlines means to prevent and curb corrosion. Referring to all commonly used materials of construction it includes over 400 topics, figures, tables and equations. New entries to this edition range from carburization to localized corrosion to sulfide stress cracking.

Paint and Coatings

by Philip A Schweitzer

Published 23 September 2005

Paint and Coatings: Applications and Corrosion Resistance helps designers, engineers, and maintenance personnel choose the appropriate coatings to best protect equipment, structures, and various components from corrosion, degradation, and failure.

The book addresses all factors - including physical and mechanical properties, workability, corrosion resistance, and cost - that need to be considered in selecting the material of construction for application-specific components. The first chapters provide a background of the principles of coatings, the theory of adhesion, and the importance of surface preparation. The remaining chapters address paint systems and the different types of coatings, including organic coatings for immersion applications, metallic coatings, conversion coatings, cementitious coatings, monolithic surfacing for concrete, tribological synergistic coatings, and high temperature coatings. Each category includes the method or methods of applications, areas of application, and corrosion resistance properties. The book also includes tables that compare various coating materials in the presence of selected corrodents.

Paint and Coatings: Applications and Corrosion Resistance is an essential guide for those involved in the design, material selection, and maintenance of structures, equipment, plant facilities, and miscellaneous components.
