Heterogeneous Electrode Processes And Localized Corrosion

This book covers the areas of electrochemical heterogeneity and electrode inhomogeneity and their effects on nonuniform electrode processes, in particular, localized corrosion. It covers the fundamentals, experimental methods, and engineering aspects of electrochemical heterogeneity. The coverage includes numerous case studies demonstrating engineering aspects of localized corrosion in industrial processes. In addition, it covers methods to quickly calculate corrosion rates and study electrode inhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity. The text offers special focus on the wire beam electrode method as a tool, representing a particular expertise of the author.

YONGJUN TAN is currently Associate Professor of Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Technology at Deakin University, Australia. Dr. Tan invented the wire beam electrode method and developed a localized corrosion probe. He has contributed to the development of the electrochemical noise analysis technique and the understanding of noise signatures. Dr. Tan has authored or coauthored more than 100 scientific and technical publications in the fields of electrochemistry and corrosion science.
