Corrosion and Passivity

Contents: Preface. 1. Rust. 2. Corrosion inhibitor. 3. Copper corrosion inhibitors. 4. Corrosion inhibitors--water treatment chemicals. 5. Anion surfactants as corrosion inhibitors for aluminum dissolution in HCI solutions. 6. Electrochemistry of corrosion. 7. Metal as corrosion inhibitor for steel. 8. Corrosion control of agriculture equipment and buildings. 9. Guide to temporary corrosion protectives. 10. Atmospheric corrosion. 11. Passivity.

This concise monograph covers the basic principles underlying corrosion and passivity. This also includes technical methods to control corrosion and passivity in industrial articles and engineering structures. This short text is suitable for science and engineering students. (jacket)
