Features of Corrosion Handbook, Ferrous Chlorides (FeCl2, FeCl3) (Kreysa Continuation Series) (Volume 12)

Product Description The DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook provides a comprehensive collection of knowledge which is unique both in scope as well as content. Corrosion data and the chemical resistance of all technically important metallic, non-metallic, inorganic and organic materials in contact with aggressive media are covered, constituting the prime information source worldwide for the selection of materials for equipment in which corrosive media are handled or processed. Furthermore, methods of corrosion protection and prevention are also described. The influence of ferrous chloride on some 550 materials constitute the contents of this twelveth volume. Unrivaled in the research and evaluation of the international pertinent literature, 400 references to primary sources, 158 figures and 176 tables arranged by agents/environment represent the most detailed corrosion data available. Review Concluding it can be stated, that also by this book DECHEMA fulfills its slogan to be the prime source of corrosion expertise in a sovereign manner. (Materials and Corrosion) About the Author Gerhard Kreysa, born 1945, studied chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden. After obtaining his doctorate, he joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of the DECHEMA in Frankfurt (Main) where he focused his research interests on electrochemical engineering and environmental protection. He became Chief Executive of the DECHEMA in 1992. In the course of his career, Professor Kreysa has received several national and international scientific awards, and honorary doctorates from the University of Clausthal and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He is a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, teaches at the universities of Dortmund and Regensburg and holds numerous honorary positions. He is also actively involved in issues pertaining to research and the public acceptance of science and technology. Michael Schtze, born 1952, studied materials sciences at the University of Erlangen-Nrnberg from 1972 to 1978, then joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of the DECHEMA as a research associate. He received his doctorate in engineering sciences from the RWTH (Technical University) in Aachen in 1983, completed his habilitation in 1991, becoming a member of the external teaching staff of the RWTH. Since 1998, he holds a professorship there. In 1996, he was appointed director of the Karl Winnacker Institute. He is recipient of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Prize and the Rahmel-Schwenk medal, past Chairman of the Gordon Research Conference on Corrosion, editor of the journal Materials and Corrosion, past - President of the European Federation of Corrosion, President of the World Corrosion Organizationand Chairman of theWorking Party Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products.
