This textbook, "Introduction to Corrosion Science," is authored by E. McCafferty and is intended for a one-semester graduate or advanced undergraduate course in corrosion science. It is designed for students and professionals in chemistry, materials science, and engineering, particularly those with a background in materials science or physical chemistry. The book emphasizes the fundamental principles of corrosion science, focusing on aqueous environments and including a chapter on high-temperature oxidation. It aims to provide a brief yet rigorous introduction to the field without delving into extensive case histories or practical applications. The content covers various aspects of corrosion, including the basics of corrosion science, thermodynamics, electrochemical cells, galvanic corrosion, Pourbaix diagrams, kinetics of corrosion, concentration polarization, passivity, crevice corrosion, pitting, mechanically assisted corrosion, corrosion inhibitors, corrosion under organic coatings, AC impedance, high-temperature gaseous oxidation, and selected topics in corrosion science. Each chapter includes problems for practice, and numerical answers are provided at the end of the book. The author acknowledges the contributions of numerous mentors and colleagues who have influenced his professional development and research, and he expresses gratitude to various individuals and institutions for their support. The book also includes appendices with additional information on properties of metals, thermodynamic relationships, and mathematical derivations.This textbook, "Introduction to Corrosion Science," is authored by E.
