The Rust Process

The book examines rust prevention strategies, from protective coatings to corrosion inhibitors, and their implementation across industries. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of rust mechanisms, crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. It presents case studies of structural failures and explores the economic burden rust imposes. Did you know that the effects of corrosion have been recognized since the Iron Age?

The book methodically progresses from introducing chemical principles and the history of rust prevention to specific factors that accelerate rust, such as humidity and pollutants. ""The Rust Process"" takes a holistic approach, combining scientific rigor with practical applications. It moves from traditional methods like painting to advanced technologies like cathodic protection. It is a resource for engineers, architects, and students looking to understand and combat the damaging effects of rust in infrastructure and materials.
