Marine Corrosion and Cathodic Protection

Autorentext

Dr Chris Googan is an AMPP International Accredited Corrosion Specialist. After graduating in chemistry, and spending several years in the steel and copper industries, he gained an MSc in corrosion science (1977) and a PhD in cathodic protection (1979). After five years in a corrosion role in the protective coatings industry, he became a freelance corrosion engineering consultant. His experience of corrosion, materials, coatings and cathodic protection has been gained in over 40 countries.

Klappentext

This comprehensive practitioner guide presents CP theory to industry recognised codes for basic and advanced applications to metals, with an outline of subsea coating systems. It covers retrofitting and for internal applications, along with computational modelling, and the management of offshore CP systems.
