La Que’s Handbook on Marine Corrosion

<p><b>The new edition of&nbsp;LaQue’s&nbsp;classic text on marine corrosion, providing&nbsp;fully updated&nbsp;control engineering practices and&nbsp;applications&nbsp;</b></p> <p>Extensively updated throughout, the second edition of&nbsp;<i>La Que’s Handbook of Marine Corrosion</i>&nbsp;remains the standard single-source reference on the unique nature of seawater as a corrosive environment.&nbsp;Designed to&nbsp;help&nbsp;readers&nbsp;reduce&nbsp;operational and life cycle costs for materials in marine environments, this authoritative resource provides&nbsp;clear guidance on&nbsp;design, materials selection, and implementation of corrosion control engineering practices&nbsp;for&nbsp;materials in atmospheric, immersion, or wetted marine environments.&nbsp;</p> <p>Completely rewritten for the 21st&nbsp;century, this new edition&nbsp;reflects&nbsp;current&nbsp;environmental&nbsp;regulations, best practices, materials, and processes,&nbsp;with special emphasis placed on the engineering, behavior, and practical applications of materials.&nbsp;Divided into&nbsp;three&nbsp;parts, the book&nbsp;first&nbsp;explains&nbsp;the&nbsp;fundamentals of corrosion&nbsp;in marine&nbsp;environments, including atmospheric corrosion, erosion, microbiological corrosion, fatigue, environmental cracking, and cathodic delamination. The second part&nbsp;discusses corrosion control methods and materials selection that can mitigate or eliminate corrosion in different marine environments. The third section provides the reader with specific applications of corrosion engineering to structures, systems, or components that exist in marine environments.&nbsp;</p> <p>This much-needed new edition:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Presents&nbsp;a&nbsp;comprehensive&nbsp;and up-to-date&nbsp;account&nbsp;of&nbsp;the science and engineering aspects of marine&nbsp;corrosion&nbsp;</li> <li>Focuses on engineering aspects, descriptive behavior, and practical applications of materials usage in marine&nbsp;environments&nbsp;</li> <li>Addresses the&nbsp;various materials used in marine environments, including metals,&nbsp;polymers, alloys, coatings, and&nbsp;composites&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>Incorporates current regulations, standards, and recommended practices of numerous organizations such as ASTM International,&nbsp;the US Navy, the American Bureau of Shipping,&nbsp;the International Organization for Standardization,&nbsp;and the International Maritime Organization&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Written in a clear and&nbsp;understandable&nbsp;style,&nbsp;<i>La Que’s Handbook of Marine Corrosion, Second Edition</i>&nbsp;is an indispensable resource for&nbsp;engineers and materials scientists in disciplines&nbsp;spanning&nbsp;the naval,&nbsp;maritime, commercial,&nbsp;shipping industries,&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;corrosion engineers, ship designers, naval architects, marine engineers,&nbsp;oceanographers,&nbsp;and other professionals&nbsp;involved with products&nbsp;that&nbsp;operate in marine environments.&nbsp;</p>
