Pitting and Crevice Corrosion

Meant to revise and update NACE International’s 1986 publication Pitting and Crevice Corrosion of Metals, this book uses new information gathered and published over the last 20 years in varying branches of industry that are affected by pitting and crevice corrosion. The book sheds additional light on many new techniques and improvements in the field and on the way these developments permit researchers to better understand localized corrosion phenomena. This book is helpful for researchers conducting investigations in the field of localized corrosion and for engineers dealing with pitting and crevice corrosion.
