In order to cover fundamental as well as practical aspects, the
second edition,
which has been revised and expanded (three new chapters have been added) contains
in 19 chapters. Chapters 1 to 13 cover the basic phenomena in corrosion: adsorption,
entry of hydrogen, anodic dissolution, passivation, passivity breakdown and
localized corrosion (pitting and crevice corrosion), stress corrosion cracking, and
corrosion fatigue. Chapters 14 to 19 provide the connection between the theoretical
aspects of corrosion mechanisms and practical applications in industry: corrosion
inhibition, atmospheric corrosion, microbially induced corrosion, corrosion in
nuclear systems, corrosion of microelectronic and magnetic data-storage devices,
and the technologically important area of corrosion protection by surface coatings.
