Beskrivning

One of the main, ongoing challenges for any engineering enterprise is that systems are built of materials subject to environmental degradation. Whether working with an airframe, integrated circuit, bridge, prosthetic device, or implantable drug-delivery system, understanding the chemical stability of materials remains a key element in determining their useful life. Environmental Degradation of Advanced and Traditional Engineering Materials is a monumental work for the field, providing comprehensive coverage of the environmental impacts on the full breadth of materials used for engineering infrastructure, buildings, machines, and components. The book discusses fundamental degradation processes and presents examples of degradation under various environmental conditions. Each chapter presents the basic properties of the class of material, followed by detailed characteristics of degradation, guidelines on how to protect against corrosion, and a description of testing procedures.A complete, self-contained industrial reference guide, this valuable resource is designed for students and professionals interested in the development of deterioration-resistant technological systems constructed with metallurgical, polymeric, ceramic, and natural materials.

"... this book fulfills its intention, being a complete, self-contained industrial reference guide, designed for students and professionals interested in the development of deterioration-resistant technological systems constructed with metallurgical, polymeric, ceramic, and natural materials." -Materials and Corrosion, 2014 "This is the book that the international corrosion community has been waiting for. ... This titanic publication is clearly organized and deals with general materials in four sections: metals, polymers, ceramics and glass materials, and other natural materials (wood and asphalt). It provides a complete guide to the environmental degradation of all these engineering materials, every group or material following a particular mechanism based on their physicochemical nature and properties ... copiously illustrated ... enriched by an amazing numbers of references ... Many professionals, academics, postgraduate students, corrosion practitioners, consultants, maintenance engineers and technicians, manufacturers of equipment, and builders of land and marine structures will benefit from reading, employing, and owning this well-organized and well-written volume." -Dr. Michael Schorr, Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology, Vol. 49, 2014
