Knowledge of metal corrosion and its prevention are vital for the safety and integrity of a boat. The third edition of this unique book is for boat owner and boat builder alike, giving advice on how to prevent or at least reduce the corrosive effects of seawater. In this edition more attention is paid to electrolytic corrosion as nowadays many more people plug into a shore supply.

Modern super sealants, copper sheathing and chromium plating are examined, as are engines, outdrives and even mooring chains, since these are just as vital to a boat's security as the rudder stock. Finally, there are tables showing the corrosion rates of different metals in fresh and salt water..

Damage from corrosion costs billions of dollars per year. Controlling corrosion requires a fundamental, in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and phenomena involved, and this understanding is best achieved through advanced analytical methods. The first book to treat both surface analytical and electrochemical techniques in a single reference, Analytical Methods in Corrosion Science and Engineering equips you with hands-on tools for solving corrosion problems and improving corrosion resistance. The book begins with the major surface analytical techniques, their principles, instrumentation, and the exact nature of the information derived from their measurements. Individual chapters are devoted to electron spectroscopy, ion analytical methods, nanoprobes, synchrotron methods, infrared spectroscopy, and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy followed by recent developments in the application of radiotracer methods, nanoscratching, and nanoindentation. Coverage then moves to electrochemical techniques, beginning with an introduction to electrochemical instrumentation that reveals the requirements for accurate and meaningful measurements as well as potential errors and how to avoid them. The authors provide a thorough background of each technique and illustrate its use for a variety of corrosion systems, in many cases using examples of practical industrial applications. Contributed by a team of prominent experts from major universities and national research laboratories around the world, Analytical Methods in Corrosion Science and Engineering is the most comprehensive guide available for investigating surface corrosion..

Corrosion and scale in crude oil systems are two of the most costly problems facing oil companies, which go to great expense to effectively control the problems Corrodible surfaces are found throughout production, transport, and refining equipment. Therefore, the protection of this equipment is critical to the profitability and successful operation of these companies. While scale control ranks lower in importance, its presence is also costly in terms of equipment damage. This book provides understanding of these processes, their impact on petroleum companies, and potential solutions and inhibitors. Contents: Petroleum-related corrosion and scale Petroleum-related fluids and scale Petroleum fluids and corrosion Petroleum industry Mild steel Petroleum fluid scale growth & inhibitation Solid-solid surfaces Electrochemical effects on scale Special case of hydrogen Corrosion and scale forms Electrochemical behavior of petroleum fluids Corrosion inhibitation Phase behavior of corrosion chemicals and scale chemicals Petroleum fluids corrosion and scale testing Synthetic routes to some scale and corrosion chemicals Corrosion and scale inhibitiors and native petroleum surfactants Epilogue..
