Pierre R. Roberge is a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, specializing in materials engineering, corrosion engineering, and electrochemical power sources. He is the author of several books on corrosion engineering, including "Corrosion Engineering: Principles and Practice" and "Corrosion Inspection and Monitoring." He is a distinguished member of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers' National Press Council. The second edition of "Handbook of Corrosion Engineering" is a comprehensive guide covering the fundamentals of corrosion, its environments, high-temperature corrosion, modeling, life prediction, and computer applications. It includes chapters on corrosion failures, maintenance through inspection, testing, materials selection, protective coatings, corrosion inhibitors, cathodic and anodic protection, and other related topics. The book also features appendices with a periodic table, SI units conversion table, reference electrodes, chemical compositions of engineering alloys, and a historical perspective on corrosion science. The book discusses the nature of corrosion, its impact on materials, and the various factors that contribute to corrosion damage. It covers the study of corrosion cells, the electrochemical processes involved in corrosion, and the principles of cathodic and anodic protection. The text also addresses the strategic impact and cost of corrosion damage, highlighting the economic and safety implications of corrosion in various industries. The book is designed as a valuable reference for engineers and scientists involved in corrosion prevention and control.Pierre R.
