Description:

Foundations of Corrosion Science and Engineering is a student-friendly textbook which presents the fundamental and advanced analysis of corrosion technology in clear and lucid language. The book addresses the need of corrosion study and provides measures to reduce or eliminate damage caused by corrosion. Also, it discusses the electrochemical reactions involving thermodynamics and kinetics, various forms of corrosion, e.g., IGC, pitting, SCC, BIC and Rebar corrosion, different corrosion prevention and control, various corrosion testing and methods, the basic theory, advanced analysis and applications of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), nano-corrosion, nano-inhibition and prevention, and high temperature corrosion, etc. in a systematic and logical sequence.

Each chapter of this book includes a large number of numerical examples and problems, multiple-choice questions (MCQs), and question bank.
