Corrosion of Stainless Steels, Second Edition describes the current understanding of corrosion resistance of stainless steels and emphasizes the role of metallurgical factors in creating this resistance. A thorough introduction to the selection, development, and production of stainless steels, it clarifies numerous issues and provides an interdisciplinary treatment that combines metallurgy, chemistry, and electrochemistry

This remarkably well-crafted Second Edition integrates the metallurgy and corrosion behavior of stainless steels and encourages corrosion control through a combination of metallurgy and materials selection. It identifies areas where further research is needed, provides detailed background for research projects, and reduces the need for literature searches. Here is the authoritative stainless-steel text and resource guide for scientists, engineers, corrosion technologists, corrosion consultants, failure analysts, expert witnesses, and graduate students in electrochemistry, materials science, and chemical and mechanical engineering
