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 drinking warter (municipal) on some 250 materials and the effect of waste water (industrial) on some 800 materials constitute the contents of this fourth volume. Unrivaled in the research and evaluation of the international pertinent literature, more than 620 references to primary sources, 100 figures and 180 tables arranged by agents/environment represent the most detailed corrosion data available.
