Valuable information on corrosion fundamentals and applicationsof aluminum and magnesium
Aluminum and magnesium alloys are receiving increased attentiondue to their light weight, abundance, and resistance to corrosion.In particular, when used in automobile manufacturing, these alloyspromise reduced car weights, lower fuel consumption, and resultingenvironmental benefits.
Meeting the need for a single source on this subject, CorrosionResistance of Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys gives scientists,engineers, and students a one-stop reference for understanding boththe corrosion fundamentals and applications relevant to theseimportant light metals. Written by a world leader in the field, thetext considers corrosion phenomena for the two metals in asystematic and parallel fashion. The coverage includes:
The essentials of corrosion for aqueous, high temperaturecorrosion, and active-passive behavior of aluminum and magnesiumalloys
The performance and corrosion forms of aluminum alloys
The performance and corrosion forms of magnesium alloys
Corrosion prevention methods such as coatings for aluminum andmagnesium
Electrochemical methods of corrosion investigation and theirapplication to aluminum and magnesium alloys
Offering case studies and detailed references, CorrosionResistance of Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys provides an essential,up-to-date resource for graduate-level study, as well as a workingreference for professionals using aluminum, magnesium, and theiralloys.
