腐蚀影响着世界经济的很大一部分——据估计，腐蚀的直接成本占世界生产总值的2%。腐蚀:环境与工业按环境和工业部门阐述腐蚀如何影响世界经济的特定部分。本卷为您提供了影响您所在行业的腐蚀问题的答案，并提供了解决设备所处环境中腐蚀问题的方法。超过250位腐蚀领域的权威人士撰写或审阅了本卷中的文章。本卷完成了landmark 1987金属手册腐蚀卷的三卷更新。 配套著作包括ASM手册第13A卷《腐蚀:基础、测试和保护》和ASM手册第13B卷《腐蚀:材料》。这三本书共同为理解腐蚀和减少腐蚀的直接和间接成本提供了强大的资源。本卷包括两个主要部分:“特定环境中的腐蚀”和“特定行业中的腐蚀”“特定环境中的腐蚀”涉及广泛的工业和非工业环境。扩大了对淡水（包括高纯水系统）、海洋环境、地下环境和军事环境的考虑。 这一部分也有关于环境的新文章，从寒冷气候到博物馆和收藏品中可能会降低艺术品质量的环境。“特定行业的腐蚀”包括化石燃料和核能；陆空运输、石化；纸浆和纸张；微电子；还有更多。扩大了生物医学应用的覆盖范围。无论您是否从事这些特定行业，本节都会很有意义。这些行业在材料选择和预防措施方面的经验教训具有广泛的应用。

Corrosion affects a significant portion of the world economy--the direct cost of corrosion has been estimated to be 2% of the Gross World Product.Corrosion: Environments and Industriesaddresses how corrosion impacts specific segments of the world economy--by environment and by industrial sector. This Volume provides you with answers to corrosion problems affecting your industry, and provides ways to address corrosion issues in the environments that your equipment experiences.Over 250 leading authorities in the field of corrosion have written or reviewed articles in this Volume. This Volume completes the three-volume update of the landmark 1987 Metals Handbook volume on corrosion. The companion works are ASM Handbook, Volume 13A, Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection, and ASM Handbook, Volume 13B, Corrosion: Materials. These three volumes together provide a powerful resource for understanding corrosion and lessening the direct and indirect cost of corrosion.The Volume consists of two main sections: "Corrosion in Specific Environments" and "Corrosion in Specific Industries" "Corrosion in Specific Environments" addresses a broad range of industrial and nonindustrial environments. Expanded coverage is provided on fresh water (including high-purity water systems), marine environments, underground environments, and the considerations in military environments. This section also has new articles on environments that range from cold climates to the environments that can degrade works of art in museums and collections. "Corrosion in Specific Industries" includes fossil fuel and nuclear power; land and air transportation, petrochemical; pulp and paper; microelectronics; and many more. Expanded coverage is provided for biomedical applications. This section will be of interest whether or not you are engaged in these specific industries. The lessons learned in these industries with regard to material selection and preventive measures have wide applications.
