Summary
Summary
Providing a carefully developed and comprehensive overview of the corrosion chemistry of metallic materials, this book covers the principal methods of corrosion prevention. It includes a systematic study of the physical chemistry of the surface supported by state-of-the-art analysis methods. The author builds a scientific foundation by developing thermodynamics and kinetics of electrode-electrolyte interaction and other surface processes. This allows him to analyze and derive the models that are used in the study of corrosion for metals and their alloys, including electrochemical attack, high-temperature oxidation, passivity, atmospheric corrosion, as well as the roles of wear and strain.

Choice Review
Landolt (emer., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) describes metallic corrosion phenomena, emphasizing relevant surface chemistry. His book is intended as an introductory work, with an emphasis on understanding of principles rather than technological detail. The 600-plus pages include 12 chapters: "Introduction"; "Thermodynamics of Corrosion Reactions"; "Surfaces and Interfaces"; "Corrosion Reaction Rates"; "Experimental Study of Electrode Reactions"; "Passivity of Metals"; "Localized Corrosion"; "Oxidation and Atmospheric Corrosion"; "High-Temperature Corrosion"; "Tribocorrosion"; "Environment Induced Cracking"; and "Protection of Engineering Systems against Corrosion." There are also four "Annexes": "Constants and Units"; "Periodic Table"; "Problems"; and "Symbols." The treatment is quantitative, with relevant theory and equations clearly presented and including a liberal number of figures and diagrams. A list of references is included with each chapter, as well as a set of problems for the student (in the Annex). The book is an outgrowth of a course taught to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and chemical engineering, and is an extension of the original French edition. It is thorough and well written, and recommended as a course resource for advanced chemistry or engineering students and as a reference for practicing engineers and scientists. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. R. Darby emeritus, Texas A&M University
