DESCRIPTION:
“University teachers, scientists and researchers and in particular their undergraduate and postgraduate students, preparing their graduate theses will benefit from reading, employing and owing this well-organized volume.” (Materials and Corrosion, 1 November 2012) "Overall I liked this book. Most professional books are not cheap and neither is this one. However, whereas I have found many such books do not altogther justify their price tags, this one does." (TCE- The Chemical Engineer, 1 November 2011) "It is also an asset to the entry-level corrosion control professional who may have a theoretical background in metallurgy, chemistry, or a related field, but who needs to understand the practical limitations of large-scale industrial operations associated with oil and gas production." (Breitbart: Business Wire, 22 February 2011)
"Incredibly useful resource" according to Mariano Iannuzzi. The material in this book comes from years of experience and you can really see that in the way the author covers topics such as coatings, materials selection, cathodic protection etc. I am actually using it as a textbook for a class I am teaching on the fundamentals of corrosion science and engineering.The Kindle edition is very good.
He was previously a faculty member in ocean engineering at the University of Rhode Island, chemical engineering at Oklahoma State, and metallurgy and materials engineering at California Polytechnic State University. . Rust, Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in corrosion, metallurgy, and materials consulting for a variety of international clients, including oil and gas production, military hardware, construction, litigation, and failure analysis.
It is intended for use by personnel with limited backgrounds in chemistry, metallurgy, and corrosion and will give them a general understanding of how and why corrosion occurs and the practical approaches to how the effects of corrosion can be mitigated. This book is intended for engineers and related professionals in the oil and gas production industries. It is also an asset to the entry-level corrosion control professional who may have a theoretical background in metallurgy, chemistry, or a related field, but who needs to understand the practical limitations of large-scale industrial operations associated with oil and gas production. While the may use by technicians and others with limited formal technical training, it will be written on a level intended for use by engineers having had some exposure to college-level chemistry and some familiarity with materials and engineering design.
