The purpose of ASM Handbook, Volume 13A: Corrosion: Fundamentals,
Testing, and Protection is to help engineers and designers
understand corrosion so that they can solve existing corrosion
problems and prevent future ones. It should be the first book you
select when researching a corrosion problem. The coverage of the
volume has been completely revised to ensure that it is the most
comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date resource available. Each
article is indexed to other appropriate sections of the Handbook,
and each provides a road map to the thousands of individual
bibliographical references that were used to compile the
information. The editors have assembled over 120 leading
authorities in the field of corrosion to review, revise, and
contribute new articles to this Volume. This volume replaces the
landmark 1987 Metals Handbook volume on corrosion. In developing
this new edition, the coverage of many of the topics has been
greatly expanded. To provide complete coverage of all aspects of
corrosion, ASM International has published two companion volumes:
ASM Handbook, Volume 13B, Corrosion: Materials, and Volume 13C:
Corrosion: Environments and Industries.The three volumes can be
purchased separately or as a specially discounted set. Volume 13A
has six major sections: Fundamentals of Corrosion covers the theory
of aqueous and gaseous corrosion from the thermodynamic and kinetic
perspectives. It presents the principles of electrochemistry, the
mechanisms of corrosion processes, and the methods for measuring
corrosion rates in aqueous, molten salt, liquid metals, and gaseous
environments. An entirely new article introduces geochemical
modeling as a means for characterizing and understanding corrosion
in complex environments. While corrosion is usually associated with
the environmental degradation of a material, this section also has
new articles on electrochemical machining and refining, batteries,
and fuel cells-these articles describe ways in which corrosion
processes can be applied for beneficial purposes. Forms of
Corrosion describes how to recognize the different types of
corrosion and the forces that influence them. Revised and expanded
articles address uniform corrosion, localized corrosion,
metallurgically influenced corrosion, mechanically assisted
corrosion, environmentally induced cracking, and microbiologically
influenced corrosion. The section introduces the complex processes
of wear-corrosion interactions that accelerate material
deterioration at rates greater than those resulting from wear
processes or corrosion processes alone. Corrosion Testing and
Evaluation describes the planning of corrosion tests, evaluation of
test results, the latest in laboratory corrosion testing and
equipment, simulated service testing, and in-service techniques for
damage detection and monitoring. Methods of Corrosion Protection
begins by discussing as a baseline the corrosion resistance of bulk
materials. The section continues with methods of corrosion
protection, including surface treatments and conversion coatings,
ceramic, glass and oxide coatings, metal coatings, coatings and
linings, electrochemical corrosion control methods, and corrosion
inhibitors. Designing for Corrosion Control and Prevention
addresses the topic from the perspective of materials selection and
equipment design. Corrosion control is an economic process as well
as a technical process, and this section discusses corrosion
economic calculations, predictive modeling for structure service
life, and a review of corrosion costs in the United States. Tools
for the Corrosionist is an entirely new section that covers
conventions in corrosion and oxidation, applications of modern
analytical instruments in corrosion, materials science, statistics,
and information sources and databases.
