Cathodic Protection
Wiley-Scrivener (Verlag)
978-1-118-29040-8 (ISBN)
The most up-to-date, comprehensive volume on cathodic protection available
The causes and results of corrosion in industrial settings are some of the most important and difficult problems that engineers and scientists face on a daily basis. Coming up with solutions, or not, is often the difference between success and failure, and can have severe economic and environmental consequences. This timely volume covers the state of the art in corrosion chemistry today, for use in industrial applications or as a textbook.
Cathodic Protection:
Covers the theoretical aspects of cathodic protection and the science of the process
Provides practical, workable solutions to the everyday problems that engineers working in the field have with corrosion
Is applicable in many different industries, literally anywhere there might be corrosion
As a companion to his first book, Corrosion Chemistry, published by Wiley-Scrivener in 2012, Cathodic Protection covers both the theoretical aspects of cathodic protection and the practical applications of the technology. Of use to engineers and scientists across a variety of disciplines and industries, this is the most up-to-date and timely treatment of cathodic protection on the market.
Both books together offer the engineer, scientist, or student the most useful guide to corrosion and cathodic protection ever written. Efficient and to the point, these guides are rich in valuable information for the engineer working in the field, the scientist researching this area, or the student hopeful of obtaining a degree in mechanical, petroleum, electrical, process, or chemical engineering.
As a reference for the engineer in the field, Cathodic Protection is both a refresher for the veteran on the chemistry of cathodic protection and its uses over a variety of industries. It is the most up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of cathodic protection available, covering the most cutting-edge new processes and theories. For the freshman engineer just entering the field, it is a tremendous introduction to this science.
As a textbook, it can be used for a single-semester technical course in undergraduate or postgraduate education for disciplines such as chemistry, chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, civil engineering, material engineering, mechanical engineering, metallurgical engineering, mining engineering, agricultural engineering, and other related technical fields.
Dr. Volkan Cicek is a chemist and corrosion scientist and received his BSc at Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, and his PhD from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, U.S. After working as a dean of academics and vice principal in U.S. public schools for several years, Dr. Cicek is the current vice president for scientific affairs at Ishik University, Erbil, Iraq.
