<p>This book provides a general holistic view of materials degradation without undue emphasis on aqueous corrosion with the neglect of other important topics such as liquid metal corrosion. Discussion of materials degradation is balanced by detailed description and evaluation of surface engineering as a means of managing materials degradation. Thus, the trainee engineer is presented with a comprehensive view of the problem rather than just a part of the problem. The control or management of materials degradation is not only discussed in scientific terms, but the economics or financial aspects of materials degradation and surface engineering is also discussed in detail with the help of analytical models.</p>

<p>Studies of materials degradation, e.g. corrosion, have traditionally been divided into separate disciplines for each type of material. The control of materials degradation is also usually studied as a separate topic, e.g. corrosion and paints. It is difficult for a student to gain an overall view of the entire materials degradation problem with this scattered presentation of knowledge. This book offers a comprehensive review of the various forms of damage to all significant engineering materials, before proceeding to discuss both traditional and modern technologies of surface engineering for combating materials degradation. Scientific concepts are, wherever possible, illustrated graphically with numerous diagrams to ensure the maximum ease of understanding by students.</p>
