This invaluable reference provides a comprehensive overview of corrosion and environmental effects on metals, glassy metals, ceramics and composites of metals, and ceramics and polymer materials-surveying numerous options for various applications involving corrosive environments and offering guidance in material selection and substitution.
Exploring a wide range of environments, including aqueous and high-termperature surroundings, Environmental Effects on Engineered Materials examines specific material-environmental interactions....corrosion rates and material limitations...preventive measurements against corrosion...utilization of older materials in recent application...use of new materials for existing equipment...and more.
