Pitting corrosion presents a critical challenge to engineering infrastructure, with limited comprehensive modeling methodologies available to evaluate the effectiveness of corrosion mitigation strategies tailored to specific structural systems. This book aims to bridge that gap by introducing advanced, integrated models that encompass the various stages and influencing factors of the corrosion process. It provides an in-depth exploration of corrosion fatigue mechanisms, the impact of stress and temperature, and practical approaches to mitigate corrosion-induced damage in structural components.
Features
- Discusses exclusive material on modelling of the pitting corrosion process
- Provides a brief outline of experimental techniques for pitting corrosion
- Covers advanced numerical modelling techniques are explained with number of examples
- Presents data on modular form for easy understanding of the modelling techniques
- Includes equations/flow charts to generate the numerical codes
This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in materials science, corrosion, aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering.
