Corrosion and Corrosion Control

By Herbert H. Uhlig

This standard work in corrosion science and engineering, uses a quantitative approach including basic equations--explained and derived--and illustrative problems, to discuss the basic thermodynamic and electrochemical principles that cause corrosion and treats practical corrosion problems and methods of protection and prevention. A new chapter covers cobalt and its alloys, and expanded discussions focus on electrochemical polarization, cracking, fatigue and steel reinforcements in concrete.

Great resource, needs some improvement.

Great resource overall. This is a well-documented, graduate-level textbook. Unfortunately, very little attention is given to corrosive soils. The authors spend only one fairly short chapter on corrosive soils, yet this topic is extremely important for our aging infrastructure and expansion into less hospitable soil environments.
