Localized Corrosion in Complex Environments

This book includes a comprehensive review and analysis of major selected localized corrosion issues and mechanisms. It reflects the evolution and advances of existing and new technologies and materials used in these industries for localized corrosion detection, monitoring, analysis, management and protection. The book focuses on infrastructure durability and life extension, materials protection and management approaches and techniques such as protection coatings, cathodic protection, corrosion monitoring and inspection, corrosion inhibitors, as well as corrosion resistant alloys and additive manufacturing.

Topics include: Overview of localized corrosion issues in complex environments, Underground structures and critical corrosion issues, Offshore infrastructure and critical corrosion issues, Progresses in inspection and monitoring technologies, Protection using protective coatings, Advances in cathodic protection, Internal pipeline corrosion and control using corrosion inhibitors, Corrosion control by stainless steels and additive manufacturing.
