Publisher's Synopsis
Researchers in the fields of surface science, materials science, corrosion and electrochemistry should find this volume to be a useful reference source on recent developments and techniques in the study and understanding of corrosion and stress corrosion. The 21 papers are organized into the following topics: analytical, theoretical and computational, crack growth and electrochemical.;Coverage includes: application of scanning tunnelling microscope and quartz crystal microbalance for study of inhibitor adsorption metals; atomistic simulation of the hydrogen-induced fracture process in an iron-based superalloy; the effect of environment on fatigue crack top micromechanics; and a review of electrochemical noise and its application to the study of stress corrosion cracking.
