Compiles experimental approaches from more than a decade of course lectures and laboratory work to predict the performance of materials and corrosion mitigation techniques and assess the accuracy of corrosion monitoring strategies.

Electrochemical Techniques in Corrosion Science and Engineering describes

• the origin, use, and limitations of electrochemical phase diagrams
• numerous testing schemes for active, passive, and localized corrosion
• the development and electrochemical characterization of passivity
• methods in process alteration, failure prediction, and materials selection

and offers useful guidelines to

• assess the efficacy of corrosion inhibitors and coatings for metals and alloys
• develop effective corrosion prediction models
• calculate the corrosion rates of various materials
• determine the resistance of alloys to pitting and crevice corrosion
• consider current and potential distribution effects on corrosion

Considering the effect of environmental and processing conditions on material degradation, Electrochemical Techniques in Corrosion Science and Engineering is an excellent source for mechanical, corrosion, maintenance, metallurgical, materials, chemical, aerospace, manufacturing, industrial, nuclear, plant, project, construction, industrial, civil, environmental, design, process, and product development engineers; materials scientists; surface chemists; applied physicists; architects; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
