Much of the experience and many of the workable solutions developed in one area of corrosion work can be used to improve the control procedures of another area. While most people work in only one area of this total discipline, there is always the possibility that a shift in responsibilities or interest brings one to work in a completely different area of corrosion prevention and control.
AMPP's Corrosion Basics: An Introduction is renowned inside (and out of) the corrosion industry for its general coverage of the ever-increasing field of corrosion control.
Chapter 2, "Electrochemistry of Corrosion," of Corrosion Basics is fundamental to an understanding of why and how metals corrode. In fact, the author suggests that the "reader proceed through this chapter carefully, concentrating particularly on learning the component parts of a corrosion cell and its interrelationships."
