Summary:

This unique reference analyzes available information on the corrosion resistance of zinc and its alloys both as solid materials and as coatings on steel -- detailing the corrosion resistance of zinc in atmospheric, aqueous, underground, and chemical environments. Describing various kinds of corrosion, including bimetallic, crevice, and intergranular attack, Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys presents practical case histories of the numerous benefits of zinc and duplex coatings ... explains the methods to apply protective coatings ... discusses cathodic protection using sacrificial zinc anodes instead of a coating ... examines the corrosive effects of hard and soft tap water (hot and cold), temperate and tropical seawater, and tidal and splash zones ... investigates the influence of urban, industrial, marine, rural, and tropical atmospheric variables on zinc corrosion ... considers other major corrosion interests such as inorganic chemicals and their aqueous solutions, organic materials, fuels, concretes, cements, plaster, and bitumen ... assesses the significance of various corrosion tests ... offers advice on the cleaning of zinc surfaces ... and more. Furnishing over 1100 up-to-date literature citations and more than 200 helpful tables, drawings, photographs, and equations, Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys is an invaluable resource for chemical, materials, mechanical, design, manufacturing, process, and metallurgical engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
