Since Surface Coatings first appeared in 1974, the industry has undergone dramatic and rapid changes both in direction and emphasis, and this new edition mirrors these changes. Volume I includes coverage of aqueous systems, with chapters on emulsions and aqueous resins as well as providing an excellent introduction to polymer science, pigments, solvents and additives.
This four-volume reference work builds upon the success of past editions of Elsevier’s Corrosion title (by Shreir, Jarman, and Burstein), covering the range of innovations and applications that have emerged in the years since its publication. Developed in partnership with experts from the Corrosion and Protection Centre at the University of Manchester, Shreir’s Corrosion meets the research and productivity needs of engineers, consultants, and researchers alike. Incorporates coverage of all aspects of the corrosion phenomenon, from the science behind corrosion of metallic and non-metallic materials in liquids and gases to the management of corrosion in specific industries and applications Features cutting-edge topics such as medical applications, metal matrix composites, and corrosion modeling Covers the benefits and limitations of techniques from scanning probes to electrochemical noise and impedance spectroscopy
The effectiveness and durability characteristics of ten specially selected coating systems were evaluated using laboratory and outdoor exposure testing techniques. Test emphasis was placed on testing combinations of coating materials that could protect high value steel structures. Additionally, the authors have written a model coating guide specification. This specification, when combined with a special Paint Inspector's Guide that was also developed as a part of this project, will help coatings specifiers select proper coating systems based on the existing nature and condition of the surface to be coated. The Paint Inspector's Guide is included as Appendix A to this report. It can be used by paint inspector's to help characterize paint failures and to advise paint inspectors when overseeing painting applications. (Author).
Annotation Every article from the 1987 edition has been reviewed, revised, expanded or updated! The purpose of ASM Handbook, Volume 13A: Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection is to help engineers and designers understand corrosion so that they can solve existing corrosion problems and prevent future ones. It should be the first book you select when researching a corrosion problem. The overage of the volume had been completely revised to ensure that it is the most comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date resource available. Each article is indexed to other appropriate sections of the Handbook, and each provides a road map to the thousand of individual bibliographical references that were used to compile the information. The editors have assembled over 120 leading authorities in the field of corrosion to review, revise, and contribute new articles to this volume. This volume replaces the landmark 1987 Metals Handbook volume on corrosion. In developing this new edition, the coverage of many of the topics has been greatly expanded. The volume has six major sections: Fundamentals of Corrosion, Forms of Corrosion, Corrosion Testing and Evaluation, Methods of Corrosion Protection, Designing for Corrosion Control and Prevention, and Tools for the Corrosionist.
