Corrosion Engineering 2nd Edition

Corrosion Engineering, 2nd Edition by Branko N. Popov is an authoritative, practical guide that every materials scientist, engineer, and maintenance professional needs. Clear, concise, and richly illustrated, this edition brings foundational electrochemical theory together with modern corrosion control strategies relevant to industrial, marine, oil & gas, infrastructure, and aerospace settings.

Beginning with the science behind corrosion—thermodynamics, kinetics, and electrochemical mechanisms—Popov moves quickly to applied topics: corrosion testing and monitoring, material selection, protective coatings, cathodic and anodic protection, and corrosion management. Real-world examples and problem-solving approaches make complex concepts accessible for students in engineering programs and directly usable by corrosion engineers working in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Designed for both classroom use and on-the-job reference, this edition emphasizes prevention and mitigation: how environments, design choices, and maintenance practices influence longevity and safety. Updated illustrations and practical calculations help readers assess risk, specify materials, and design effective protection systems that comply with global industry standards.

Whether you’re a corrosion specialist, a mechanical or chemical engineer, a quality inspector, or a graduate student, this book equips you with the tools to diagnose problems, recommend solutions, and extend asset life. Reliable, well-organized, and written by a respected authority, Corrosion Engineering, 2nd Edition is the go-to resource for professionals and academics seeking durable, cost-effective corrosion control. Add this essential reference to your library today and make smarter decisions for materials and infrastructure performance worldwide.
