This book serves as a reference for engineers, scientists, and students concerned with the use of materials in applications where reliability and resistance to corrosion are important. It updates the coverage of its predecessor, including coverage of: corrosion rates of steel in major river systems and atmospheric corrosion rates, the corrosion behavior of materials such as weathering steels and newer stainless alloys, and the corrosion behavior and engineering approaches to corrosion control for nonmetallic materials.
New chapters include: high-temperature oxidation of metals and alloys, nanomaterials, and dental materials, anodic protection. Also featured are chapters dealing with standards for corrosion testing, microbiological corrosion, and electrochemical noise.

The objective in preparing this third edition of Uhlig’s
Corrosion Handbook has been to provide an updated
book—one affordable volume—in which the current state
of knowledge on corrosion is summarized. The fundamental
scientific aspects and engineering applications of new and
traditional materials and corrosion control methods are discussed,
along with indications of future trends. The book is
intended to meet the needs of scientists, engineers, technologists,
students, and all those who require an up-to-date
source of corrosion knowledge. This new edition contains
a total of 88 chapters divided among six parts:
I. Basics of Corrosion Science and Engineering
II. Nonmetals
III. Metals
IV. Corrosion Protection
V. Testing for Corrosion Resistance
VI. Corrosion Monitoring
Topics discussed in chapters that are new in this edition
include failure analysis (Chapter 1), principles of accelerated
corrosion testing (Chapter 73), metal–matrix composites
(Chapter 35), nanocrystals (Chapter 37), ethanol stress corrosion
cracking (Chapter 50), computation of Pourbaix diagrams
at elevated temperature (Chapter 9), high-temperature
oxidation (Chapters 20 and 74), dealloying (Chapter 11), and
diagnosing, measuring, and monitoring microbiologically
influenced corrosion (MIC) (Chapter 88). Dr. Tomomi
Murata has provided some very insightful introductory notes
on the effects of climate change, life-cycle design, and
corrosion of steel under changing atmospheric conditions.
Throughout the book, extensive reference lists are included
to help readers identify sources of information beyond
what could be included in this one-volume handbook.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the authors who wrote the
chapters of this edition as well as the reviewers, who, in
anonymity, carried out their work in the spirit of continuous
improvement. I would also like to acknowledge the members
of the Editorial Advisory Committee, who made many
constructive suggestions to help define, focus, and clarify
the discussions in this new edition. I would like to acknowledge
Mary Yess and her staff at The Electrochemical Society
Headquarters in Pennington, New Jersey, for their support
during the preparation of this book. I greatly appreciate the
encouragement and support of Bob Esposito and his staff at
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Finally, I would like to thank my many friends and
colleagues at the CANMET Materials Technology Laboratory,
where it has been my privilege to work for the past
32 years.
