Valuable information on corrosion fundamentals and applications
of aluminum and magnesium
Aluminum and magnesium alloys are receiving increased attention
due to their light weight, abundance, and resistance to corrosion.
In particular, when used in automobile manufacturing, these alloys
promise reduced car weights, lower fuel consumption, and resulting
environmental benefits.
Meeting the need for a single source on this subject, Corrosion
Resistance of Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys gives scientists,
engineers, and students a one-stop reference for understanding both
the corrosion fundamentals and applications relevant to these
important light metals. Written by a world leader in the field, the
text considers corrosion phenomena for the two metals in a
systematic and parallel fashion. The coverage includes:
* The essentials of corrosion for aqueous, high temperature
corrosion, and active-passive behavior of aluminum and magnesium
alloys
* The performance and corrosion forms of aluminum alloys
* The performance and corrosion forms of magnesium alloys
* Corrosion prevention methods such as coatings for aluminum and
magnesium
* Electrochemical methods of corrosion investigation and their
application to aluminum and magnesium alloys
Offering case studies and detailed references, Corrosion
Resistance of Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys provides an essential,
up-to-date resource for graduate-level study, as well as a working
reference for professionals using aluminum, magnesium, and their
alloys.
