Corrosion of Nickel-Based Alloys
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-0-470-12203-7 (ISBN)
In Corrosion of Nickel-Based Alloys, a distinguished corrosion engineer and scientist delivers a comprehensive source of information on the history, metallurgy, and corrosion behavior of nickel-based alloys. The book combines fundamental knowledge of the metallurgy, chemistry, and electrochemistry relevant to these alloys with practical applications of these alloys in the area of corrosion.
Readers will learn to apply contemporary corrosion mechanisms and metallurgy in the selection and evaluation of these alloys. The author discusses corrosion models and their application to the development and assessment of Ni-base alloys.
Corrosion of Nickel-Based Alloys also includes:
A thorough introduction to nickel alloys used in the nuclear, chemical, oil and gas, marine, biomedical, and aerospace industries
Comprehensive explorations of nickel alloys used in waste treatment and pollution control systems
Practical discussions of the corrosion behavior of nickel-base alloys in aqueous and non-aqueous environments
Modeling approaches that augment experimental findings
Perfect for metallurgical, mechanical, chemical, nuclear, petroleum, and petrochemical engineers, Corrosion of Nickel-Based Alloys will also benefit students and engineering consultants interested in corrosion-resistant alloys.
Narasi Sridhar, PhD, is a consultant with over 45 years of experience in alloy development, testing, sensors, and corrosion life prediction. He is the CEO of MC Consult LLC and an Adjunct Professor at The Ohio State University. Prior to his current occupation, he was a Vice President at DNV. Prior to joining DNV he was a Program Director at Southwest Research Institute and Group Leader for Corrosion at Haynes International.
