"From metals and polymers to ceramics, natural materials, and composites, this book
covers the environmental impacts on a broad range of materials used for the engineering
of infrastructure, buildings, machines, and components all of which experience some
form of degradation. The text discusses fundamental degradation processes and presents
examples of degradation under various environmental conditions. It gives the fundamental
principles for each class of material, followed by detailed characteristics of degradation
for specific alloys of compositions, guidelines on how to protect against degradation,
and a description of testing procedures" ; "Preface Corrosion is ubiquitous: all engineering
systems are subject to environmental degradation in service environments, whether
these systems are used for national defense or to save and improve the quality of
life of individuals (medical devices of all kinds); to meet our energy needs on this
planet; to provide clean air; to transport water, energy products, and other objects
of our commercial world (pipelines, oil tankers, automobiles, aircraft, etc.); and
many others including the vast spatial presence of infrastructure systems. From heart
stents to nuclear electric generating stations, corrosion is part of our world. What
remains a persistent, resource-consuming reality in the engineering enterprise is
that engineering systems are built of materials that are subject to environmental
degradation that ultimately must be repaired or replaced. Whether an airframe, integrated
circuit, bridge, prosthetic device, or implantable drug delivery system, the chemical
stability of the materials of construction of such systems continues to be a key element
in determining their useful life. To put the detrimental effects of corrosion into
perspective, the overall annual cost of metallic corrosion on a global basis was estimated
to be 3.8% of gross world output or
