Summary
Corrosion is a materials greatest challenge. Although generally associated with harsh environments, the author shows that seemingly mild conditions also cause corrosion. This chapter provides an engineering approach to the subject of corrosion, offering guidance on the basic principles, forms of corrosion, methods of evaluating corrosions resistance and concluding with design considerations. The author helps designers select materials to improve performance and life of their components and structures.
