Corrosion of metallic heritage artefacts: Investigation, conservation and prediction of long term behavior (EFC 48)

Written by distinguished editors and contributors, Corrosion of Metallic Heritage Artefacts explores long term corrosion and its effects. It reviews key themes such as the processes underlying corrosion over long periods, how corrosion rates can be measured, and materials conserved. The book discusses long term corrosion in metals such as steel, iron, and bronze, then examines the impact of environmental factors on corrosion rates. It also considers instrumental techniques for measuring corrosion such as electrochemistry and scanning electron microscopy, as well as ways of modelling corrosion processes. There is also coverage of the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors.Dillman, P. is the author of 'Corrosion of metallic heritage artefacts: Investigation, conservation and prediction of long term behavior (EFC 48)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420054071 and ISBN 1420054074.
