The Protective Coating User S Handbook

Continuing to provide excellent, state-of-the-art information on corrosion and practicalsolutions for reducing corrosion, the Second Edition contains valuable suggestionson how to select the best construction material for a specific application . . . choose anappropriate initial design to avoid inherent corrosion pitfalls . .. determine whatcorrosion problems may exist or develop, as well as the possible extent of the problems. .. and establish practices to monitor corrosion of existing equipment.In addition to significantly revising and expanding all chapters to reflect recent progressin the field, such as the development of materials for pollution control and methods ofcontrolling/preventing corrosion, Corrosion and Corrosion ProtectionHandbook, Second Edition features detailed discussions on such new topics asatmospheric corrosion, designing to prevent corrosion, sheet linings, and corrosioninhibitors.

The Corrosion Engineering and Cathodic Protection Handbook combines the author's previous three works, Corrosion Chemistry, Cathodic Protection, and Corrosion Engineering to offer, in one place, the most comprehensive and thorough work available to the engineer or student. The author has also added a tremendous and exhaustive list of questions and answers based on the text, which can be used in university courses or industry courses, something that has never been offered before in this format. The Corrosion Engineering and Cathodic Protection Handbook is a must-have reference book for the engineer in the field, covering the process of corrosion from a scientific and engineering aspect, along with the prevention of corrosion in industrial applications. It is also a valuable textbook, with the addition of the questions and answers section creating a unique book that is nothing short of groundbreaking. Useful in solving day-to-day problems for the engineer, and serving as a valuable learning tool for the student, this is sure to be an instant contemporary classic and belongs in any engineer's library.

The book addresses recent developments which have contributed to powder coating's ever-increasing favorability over liquid coating. Since the publication of the last edition, this process has been adapted to a wider range of applications, notably for high-temperature and temperature-sensitive products. Equipment has been greatly improved, achieving faster color change, increasing transfer efficiency, and reducing overall powder usage. Environmental requirements have prompted many companies to switch to powder coating. 'Users Guide to Powder Coating, Fourth Edition' combines information on the latest breakthroughs in the industry (notable ultraviolet-curable materials for plastic and wood products, and improved systems) and tried-and-true guidelines from the previous edition (including factors like material selection, design considerations, surface preparation, quality control and testing, trouble shooting and safety, and more), so you can achieve superior finishes with efficiency.

A smart coating is defined as one that changes its properties in response to an environmental stimulus. The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection reviews the new generation of smart coatings for corrosion and other types of material protection. Part one explores the fundamentals of smart coatings for materials protection including types, materials, design, and processing. Chapters review corrosion processes and strategies for prevention; smart coatings for corrosion protection; techniques for synthesizing and applying smart coatings; multi-functional, self-healing coatings; and current and future trends of protective coatings for automotive, aerospace, and military applications. Chapters in part two focus on smart coatings with self-healing properties for corrosion protection, including self-healing anticorrosion coatings for structural and petrochemical engineering applications; smart self-healing coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and steel; smart nanocoatings for corrosion detection and control; and recent advances in polyaniline-based organic coatings for corrosion protection. Chapters in part three move on to highlight other types of smart coatings, including smart self-cleaning coatings for corrosion protection; smart polymer nanocomposite water- and oil-repellent coatings for aluminum; UV-curable organic polymer coatings for corrosion protection of steel; smart epoxy coatings for early detection of corrosion in steel and aluminum; and structural ceramics with self-healing properties. The Handbook of Smart Coatings for Materials Protection is a valuable reference for those concerned with preventing corrosion, particularly of metals, professionals working within the surface coating industries, as well as all those with an academic research interest in the field. Reviews the new generation of smart coatings for corrosion and other types of material protection Explores the fundamentals of smart coatings for materials protection including types, materials, design, and processing Includes a focus on smart coatings with self-healing properties for corrosion protection
