Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels Mechanism, Mitigation, and Monitoring

This book features 15 chapters written by leading experts in allaspects of austenitic stainless steel metallurgy and corrosion. The text issupported by 200 figures, 100 micrographs, 50 tables, and 1000references. This comprehensive reference work will be of interest toengineers and researchers in the chemical, petrochemical, nuclear, and other industries that depend on theexcellent properties and service performance of austenitic stainless steels in demanding environments.Contents: Introduction to austenitic stainless steels ?
