Corrosion-Resist Coatings PDF

Preface

In the past 20 years, technology for corrosion-resistant coatings has been advanced by the improvement of surface treatment processes and the development of more corrosion-resistant materials. New coating control systems and surface analytical equipment, as well as progress in the underlying science itself, have contributed to the advancement.

Reporting the current status of corrosion-resistant coatings, this book was written for students, engineers, and others who are interested in corrosion protection. The scope of this book includes the selection and application of coatings used widely in natural environments, including metallic, inorganic, and organic coatings. It does not cover ceramic coatings and linings, organic linings, or coatings used at high temperatures or in particular environments.

The emphasis in this book is on the protective abilities of coatings for various environments, particularly environments characterized by moisture and water. The corrosive species covered are the same as those battled by engineers: moisture, water, pollutants, and caustic substances. This book draws on much of the excellent research already done on corrosion resistance.
