Atlas of Electrochemical Equilibria in Aqueous Solutions
1974 · 8,060 citations
Abstract
Marcel Pourbaix’s monumental work Atlas of Electrochemical Equilibria in Aqueous Solutions remains the definitive reference for understanding corrosion and passivation in metallic systems. Despite being nearly six decades old, it remains one of the most respected and enduring references in corrosion science and is still cited in AMPP, ISO, and ASTM standards. This title is the seminal work on the thermodynamic foundations of corrosion and metal stability in aqueous environments. It introduced the now-iconic Pourbaix diagrams—potential–pH (E–pH) diagrams—that map out the regions of immunity, passivation, and corrosion for metals and alloys. These diagrams remain indispensable for understanding and predicting corrosion behavior in systems ranging from industrial water treatment and nuclear power to biomedical implants and atmospheric corrosion. 1974 by NACE, 644 pages, seven tables, 255 figures, references, index. Although the content of this book is high quality, the pdf quality of this product is not to our normal standards.
