Book Reviews of Principles and Prevention of Corrosion (2nd Edition)

Book Review: Ok look at corrosion
Summary: 3 Stars

Problems with it:
1. Inconsistent notation. Many reaction potentials are subscripted as a anodic, but the Nernst equation immediately following is written for the cathodic form of the rxn.
2. The treatment of the Nernst equation is lacking in detail, particularly in regard to the choice of reference states. The notion of reaction affinity is not mentioned.
3. Mixed potential theory is introduced without a clear description/justification for writing all reactions in their cathodic form. I found this confusing on the first time through.
4. In the section on high temperature oxidation, a standard defect notation, like Kroger-Vink, is not used.
5. I found the descriptions of some of the methods for measuring overpotentials less than clear.

The author is apparently now deceased, so it is doubtful the book will be updated. If you are a teacher looking for a corrosion book, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
