Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys (Corrosion Technology)
Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys - Corrosion Technology Author:Porter This unique reference analyzes available information on the corrosion resistance of zinc and its alloys both as solid materials and as coatings on steel-detailing the corrosion resistance of zinc in atmospheric, aqueous, underground, and chemical environments. Illustrates the numerous benefits of zinc and duplex coatings-presenting practical ... more »case histories of their use! Describing various kinds of corrosion, including bimetallic, crevice, and intergranular attack, Corrosion Resistance of Zinc and Zinc Alloys explains the methods to apply protective coatings such as hot dipping, eletroplating, thermal spraying, mechanical coating, and painting discusses cathodic protection using sacrificial zinc anodes instead of a coating examines the corrosive effects of hard and soft tap water (hot and cold), temperate and tropical seawater, and tidal and splash zones investigates the influence of urban, industrial, marine, rural, and tropical atmospheric variables on zinc corrosion considers other major corrosion interests such as inorganic chemicals and their aqueous solutions, organic materials, fuels, concretes, cements, plaster, and bitumen assesses the significance of various corrosion tests offers advice on the cleaning of zinc surfaces and more!« less
