ASM Handbook, Volume 13A: Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection was published 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 coverage of the volume has 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 thousands 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. To provide complete coverage of all aspects of corrosion, ASM International has published two companion volumes: ASM Handbook, Volume 13B, Corrosion: Materials, and Volume 13C: Corrosion: Environments and Industries. The three volumes can be purchased separately or as a specially discounted set.
