THE PREVENTION OF CORROSION BY SURFACE processing enjoys significant economic
leverage, and, as evidence, one may cite the widespread use of coatings, films, and …

THIS CHAPTER WILL PROVIDE A GENERAL OVER-view of the cause of metal corrosion,
and its prevention by the use of protective coatings, or overlayers. It must be understood …

Coatings represent the most prevalent means to control corrosion of a metal substrate when
other means, such as materials selection and environmental control are limited. Coatings of …

Corrosion is a costly and dangerous phenomenon that affects many industries, leading to
significant economic losses and, in some cases, catastrophic failures. It is a natural process …
