I have got more than 10 books on corrosion. Based on my experience working 17 years in an oil refinery as a maintenance engineer, project engineer, and head of inspection, this book is the best among all and has been very useful to me. It is well written and well-organized on all types of corrosion you find in real life and work. It is easy to read and understand and contains just all information you need to understand the mechanisms of corrosion you find in your plant equipment and can lead you the effective way to combat your corrosion problems. The price of this book is so low compared to other books I own, but it is the most valuable book on corrosion I have. This is just the only one you really need on corrosion!

I have a dog eared worn version printed in 1967 from when I took the Corrosin Engineering Course from Mars G Fontana. The book and knowledge have been priceless in the maintenance of my Chemical Engineering career. A number of time I have sent "experts" packing after showing them references to items such as interstitial stress cracking and the precipitation of chromium carbide near stainless steel welds. Put this book together with Peabody's Control of Pipeline Corrosion Handbook and an old version of the Betz water treatment handbook and you have coverage of nearly every corrosion control problem you might encounter .

This book is required by Texas A&M for MEEN 460 (Corrosion Engineering). I suggest buying a new book. Excellent book explaining all the intimate details concerning all forms of corrosion.

It is a must have classic book for corrosion and electrochemistry. Even though outdated, it is classic.
