CORROSION ENGINEERING

Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion engineering is the field dedicated to controlling and stopping corrosion. Corrosion can be defined as the degradation of a material due to a reaction with its environment.

Degradation implies deterioration of physical properties of the material. This can be a weakening of the material due to a loss of cross-sectional area, it can be the shattering of a metal due to hydrogen embrittlement, or it can be the cracking of a polymer due to sunlight exposure.

Materials can be metals, polymers (plastics, rubbers, etc.), ceramics (concrete, brick, etc.) or composites-mechanical mixtures of two or more materials with different properties. Because metals are the most used type of structural materials most of this web site will be devoted to the corrosion of metals.....................

This book has been written for the Medical/Pharmacy/Nursing/ME/M.TECH/BE/B.Tech students of All University with latest syllabus for ECE, EEE, CSE, IT, Mechanical, Bio Medical, Bio Tech, BCA, MCA and All B.Sc Department Students.

The basic aim of this book is to provide a basic knowledge in Corrosion Engineering.

Corrosion Engineering Syllabus students of degree, diploma & AMIE courses and a useful reference for these preparing for competitive examinations.

All the concepts are explained in a simple, clear and complete manner to achieve progressive learning.

This book is divided into five chapters. Each chapter is well supported with the necessary illustration practical examples.
