Resources for a corrosion beginner

Corrosion is a complex subject. It is difficult to pick and choose the starting point. It is very easy to spiral into a confused state of mind if the right resources are not available.

Hence, I write this blog post to list out a few books which are great if you are a corrosion enthusiast.

Here goes -

1. Corrosion Engineering by Mars. G Fontana

I love this book and I always refer to it for my work.

2. Peabody's control of pipeline corrosion -

3. Corrosion engineering - Principles and practice - Pierre Roberge

The website www.corrosion-doctors.org has a more extensive list of corrosion articles.

Other than that, there are online corrosion magazines which you can access -

1. Materials performance - www.materialsperformance.com

2. corrosionpedia.com

3. CORROSION journal meridian.allenpress.com/corrosion - it has a few open access articles.

Check out these resources as a starting point!

Is there an approximate time to failure or the number of failures per time? CoF is Consequence of failure Consequence defines how dangerous the failure will be to the resources around it. This implies the following questions - 1. What kind of failure will it be? 2. Will it damage the components? 3. Will it be harmful to human life? 4. Will it affect/contaminate the environment? The risk is calculated as follows - Risk = PoF x CoF The number designated ...

The next day I proceeded to lay out the pages of my thesis chapter-wise on the table. Then I took a blank paper and pad. I thought, "How will I explain my work to my family members in my native language?" So I decided to write down my work in my native language in the form of an algorithm and then rearrange my thesis. I answered the following questions to do so - What is the issue? Where is it encountered? Is it very common? What makes it so very important? What are the steps that people have already taken to solve it? Why have they not been that effective? What is it that I did to solve the issue? How did I do it? ...
