Handbook of Heterocyclic Corrosion Inhibitors presents a comprehensive overview of corrosion inhibition using heterocyclic compounds. It covers numerous, emerging heterocyclic compound-based industrial corrosion inhibitors that are oriented toward minimizing corrosive damages and prevention methods. Describing the fundamentals of heterocycles, corrosion, and corrosion inhibition, the book considers the potential of different series of N-heterocycles, such as acridine and acridone-based, carbazole-based, imidazole and imidazoline-based, indole and indoline-based, melamine-based, etc. It presents the corrosion inhibition potential of oxygen- and sulfur-based heterocycles compounds. The book also explores issues with corrosion as a result of improper design with descaling, acidification, refinery, and transport processes. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students studying corrosion science, heterocyclic chemistry, material science and engineering, energy, chemistry, and colloid science. It will also be a valuable reference for corrosion scientists and R&D engineers working in industrial corrosion and industrial-based corrosion protection systems.

Corrosion of nuclear materials, i.e. the interaction between these materials and their environments, is a major issue for plant safety as well as for operation and economic competitiveness. Understanding these corrosion mechanisms, the systems and materials they affect, and the methods to accurately measure their incidence is of critical importance to the nuclear industry. Combining assessment techniques and analytical models into this understanding allows operators to predict the service life of corrosion-affected nuclear plant materials, and to apply the most appropriate maintenance and mitigation options to ensure safe long term operation.This book critically reviews the fundamental corrosion mechanisms that affect nuclear power plants and facilities. Initial sections introduce the complex field of nuclear corrosion science, with detailed chapters on the different types of both aqueous and non aqueous corrosion mechanisms and the nuclear materials susceptible to attack from them. This is complemented by reviews of monitoring and control methodologies, as well as modelling and lifetime prediction approaches. Given that corrosion is an applied science, the final sections review corrosion issues across the range of current and next-generation nuclear reactors, and across such nuclear applications as fuel reprocessing facilities, radioactive waste storage and geological disposal systems.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Nuclear corrosion science and engineering is an invaluable reference for nuclear metallurgists, materials scientists and engineers, as well as nuclear facility operators, regulators and consultants, and researchers and academics in this field. - Comprehensively reviews the fundamental corrosion mechanisms that affect nuclear power plants and facilities - Chapters assess different types of both aqueous and non aqueous corrosion mechanisms and the nuclear materials susceptible to attack from them - Considers monitoring and control methodologies, as well as modelling and lifetime prediction approaches

This book discusses the structure and properties of the current and potential aluminum alloys in terms of their structure (and structural transformations by new processing methods) and the relationship between structure and mechanical and other properties. The alternative materials that challenge aluminum are considered as well, since the challenge of new competitive materials is a strong influence on innovation. The book bridges the gap between current scientific understanding and engineering practice. It is an up-to-date reference that will be of use to researchers and advanced students in metallurgy and materials engineering.
