Corrosion Resistance of Steels against Lyes and Organic Acids

This handbook provides recent data on corrosion protection and prevention for steels, one of the most widely used construction and manufacturing materials. It provides comprehensive information derived from the DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook, including numerous tabulated data and references, on the corrosion properties of virtually all types of steels and other iron-based alloys, such as chromium steels, chromium-nickel steels and chromium-nickel-molybdenum steels.

The following corrosive media are considered:
• Acetic acid
• Alkanecarboxylic acids
• Carbonic acid
• Formic acid
• Sulfonic acids
• Alkaline earth hydroxides
• Ammonia and ammonium hydroxide
• Lithium hydroxide
• Potassium hydroxide
• Sodium hydroxide

The large body of information contained in this book is key knowledge for all mechanical, civil and chemical engineers, materials scientists and chemists working with steels exposed to corrosive media.
