Description
The cost to any industrial society of the consequences of corrosion is high, and its study is therefore vital. This third edition has been completely revised and updated to take into account the many significant developments which have taken place in corrosion science since the previous edition was published. It covers the basic electrochemical mechanism for the aqueous corrosion of metals, corrosion prevention, corrosion failures, and oxidation in gaseous atmosphere. Written for students with a basic knowledge of physics and chemistry, it provides a comprehensive introductory text in corrosion and protection.
Reviews / Votes
The book still commands its place as a good all-round introductory text in corrosion and protection... A well balanced and comprehensive treatment of the subject... This is an admirable book and one which students should be prepared to buy at the preice. Metallurgist and Materials Technology.Independent Opinion of the Second Edition... British Corrosion Journal
This latest edition of Scully's book, first published in 1966, is a welcome update... Scully's book in its latest incarnation, remains high on the reading list.
