Corrosion, Environmental Degradation, and Surface Engineering: Understanding, Mitigation, and Prevention offers an insightful exploration into the causes, mechanisms, and mitigation strategies of material degradation. This comprehensive work unravels the complexities of corrosion, wear, and fatigue, while showcasing cutting-edge techniques like surface engineering and predictive analytics. Packed with real-world case studies and innovative solutions, the book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications.

This book:

Explores surface degradation mechanisms and commercial perspectives on surface degradation.

Discusses dimensionless parameters in wear phenomena, fracture surface degradation, and the influence of heat and radiation on surface degradation.

Covers environmental assisted surface deterioration, and factors affecting the atmospheric corrosion.

Highlights the importance of digitization and data-driven approaches in engineering.

Assesses the economic losses caused by corrosion degradation, and quantifies economic losses attributed to corrosion degradation.

Ideal for students, researchers, and industry professionals, the book provides the tools and knowledge necessary to combat surface degradation and promote sustainability across critical sectors.
