This must-have reference for all chemical engineers, material scientists and chemists working with steel or acidic media explains how to strengthen the corrosion resistance of steels as reaction, transport and storage devices against lyes (hydroxides) and organic acids. The handbook contains comprehensive information, including tabulated data and references, on the corrosion properties of the following materials: Unalloyed steels and cast steel Unalloyed cast iron High-alloy cast iron High-silicon cast iron Structural steels with up to 12% chromium Ferritic chromium steels with more than 12% chromium Ferritic-austenitic steels with more than 12% chromium High-alloy multiphase steels Ferritic/perlitic-martensitic steels Ferritic-austenitic steels/duplex steels Austenitic chromium-nickel steels Austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum steels Austenitic chromium-nickel steels with special alloying additions Special iron-based alloys The following corrosive media are considered: Acetic Acid Alkanecarboxylic Acids Carbonic Acid Formic Acid Sulfonic Acids Alkaline Earth Hydroxides Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide Lithium Hydroxide Potassium Hydroxide Sodium Hydroxide

Nano-plating (III): Database of Plated Film Microstructures completes the trilogy of nanoplating books written by Tohru Watanabe. Nanoplating (I) covers microstructure formation theory of plated films, with Nanoplating (II) covering a metallurgical approach to electrochemical theory and its applications to technology. This third installment shows the relationship between composition and microstructure of 27 pure metals and 55 alloy plating films, including electrodeposition and electroless plating and provides a database of plated film microstructures. The book presents readers with an efficient reference work that helps optimize their syntheses in order to obtain specific deposit types.
