Corrosion and Protection of Materials (Corrosion and Protection of Materials)

Thread Content

Corrosion and Protection of Materials Summary: This book contains thirty articles on various topics related to the corrosion and protection of metallic materials. This subject is of great practical importance, owing to the aging of plants and infrastructure that require inspection and maintenance, as well as the use of traditional materials in increasingly harsh environments. There is also a need to replace existing anti-corrosion methods with those that have a lower environmental impact. Additionally, the development of new innovative materials, such as those produced through additive manufacturing or high-entropy alloys, requires an understanding of their corrosion behavior. The book includes studies on new alloys developed for additive manufacturing or high-entropy applications, research on corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen embrittlement using electrochemical and microscopic techniques, as well as studies on inhibitors and biocides with a low environmental impact. It also covers ceramic and metal protective coatings. Furthermore, there are studies on the remaining mechanical strength of corroded infrastructure, as well as methods for monitoring and non-destructive testing. In this way, the book provides a broad overview of the research trends in this field.
