Corrosion book recommendations 4

[skh382]

As an entry-level mechanical engineer I'm studying my way up to be familiar with all aspects in the field including corrosion engineering. Can someone recommend me a basic corrosion related handbook? As a design/mechanical engineer I have found myself lost in choosing the most efficiency material. My company deals with both metals and plastics.

Thank you,
Sung Hong

The best sources would be the ASM Handbooks on Corrosion:

http://asmcommunity.asminternationa...toid=3adcdacc7e0f3110VgnVCM1000000e1e010aRCRD

These are very comprehensive (and expensive).

Perhaps a lower-price, single volume would meet your needs. Uhlig's is a popular book:

Corrosion Engineering by Fontana is a little older, but a very good book:

The newer editions of the last book may be by Fontana and Green. Good book.
There are some great books available from MTI.

These are good if you work in specific environments (acids and such).

The ASM Corrosion Handbook is now in three volumes.

If you have to make a Materials Selection, i'll suggest you also this book, there is also a brief introduction and explanation of the principal corrosion mechanisms and a lot of Materials Selection example with templates that guide you in selecting a Material. I've found it very useful.

The document referenced by laner5 is an an outstanding source of information on corrosion. The galvanometric series on metals in seawater alone is worth a star.

All excellent recommendations. For a best single volume, I recommend Handbook of Corrosion Engineering, 1139 pages (2000) by Pierre R. Roberge. Covers both science & applications (all the alloys). Has a set of Pourbaix diagrams (Potential vs. pH equilibrium diagrams), for Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni & Zn, including separate diagrams for oxide forms & hydroxides.
