Shreir's Corrosion

This five-volume reference work builds upon the success of the previous edition in bringing the underpinning science and understanding of materials degradation up to date. Shreir’s Corrosion, 2nd edition will cover the range of innovations and applications that have emerged in recent years and address the needs of engineers, consultants, and researchers alike.

The new edition extends the more science-oriented contents of the previous edition to cover technological problems and solutions for specific industries and application areas. Examples of industry focus include: energy (new nuclear, thermal power, hydrocarbon extraction, wind, solar, battery and fuel cell systems), infrastructure (built environment, key utility assets), transport (highways, rail, vehicles, aerospace) and new materials (e.g. composites).

Comprehensively updated where appropriate, Shreir’s Corrosion, new content has also been added to expand coverage in areas such as corrosion management, risk-based inspection and management, field inspection; environmental concerns, including sustainability and legislative drivers; general economic concerns, including moving towards a circular economy and re-cyclability.

Each chapter offers an detailed and in-depth overview of the topic it treats and is complemented by an extensive reference list, tables, figures as well as other elements such as glossary, key objectives, introductory and conclusions paragraphs to aid both learning and teaching. The accessible style, the comprehensive coverage of topics, the rich yet coherent structure of the work, and the level of detail provided make this work a fundamental reference for both academic and corporate libraries.
