This unique reference analyzes available information on the corrosion resistance of zinc and its alloys both as solid materials and as coatings on steel-detailing the corrosion resistance of zinc in atmospheric, aqueous, underground, and chemical environments. Illustrates the numerous benefits of zinc and duplex coatings-presenting practical case histories of their use Describing various kinds of corrosion, including bimetallic, crevice, and intergranular attack, Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys explains the methods to apply protective coatings such as hot dipping, eletroplating, thermal spraying, mechanical coating, and painting discusses cathodic protection using sacrificial zinc anodes instead of a coating examines the corrosive effects of hard and soft tap water (hot and cold), temperate and tropical seawater, and tidal and splash zones investigates the influence of urban, industrial, marine, rural, and tropical atmospheric variables on zinc corrosion considers other major corrosion interests such as inorganic chemicals and their aqueous solutions, organic materials, fuels, concretes, cements, plaster, and bitumen assesses the significance of various corrosion tests offers advice on the cleaning of zinc surfaces and more

Summarizes information on all aspects of metallic zinc and gives references to additional source material, including major books and reviews. At the heart of the reference are 16 chapters that cover coatings and electrochemical protection of steel by zinc. Other chapters address: occurrence and prod

Modern analysis of HEP data needs advanced statistical tools to separate signal from background. This is the first book which focuses on machine learning techniques. It will be of interest to almost every high energy physicist, and, due to its coverage, suitable for students.
