DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook Corrosive Agents and their Interaction with Materials

Keywords: Corrosion, Materials, DECHEMA

The DECHEMA Corrosion Handbook on CD is an English-language compendium of corrosion data based on the DECHEMA- WERKSTOFF-TABELLE (DWT) is a must for corrosion engineers. It describes the corrosion and chemical resistance of all technically important metallic, non-metallic, inorganic and organic materials in contact with aggressive media. Ways of corrosion protection and prevention are also shown.

The information is given in form of a comprehensive text, figures and tables. A supplement comparing U.S. and German standard designations for metallic materials enhances the applicability for the reader who is more familiar with the U.S. standards. The Dechema Corrosion Handbook is the result of literature research and assessment, carried out by corrosion experts who have perused corrosion literature from all over the world; it contains data and, based thereupon, gives recommendations and facilitates the selection of materials for equipment in which corrosive media are handled or processed. The chemical resistance of materials depends on many factors. Small divergence's in chemical composition, pressure, temperature or flow rate could result in completely different behavior of the same material in the same medium. Therefore the data in the text should not be accepted without critical consideration. In case of doubt laboratory experiments are advisable.

The contents of the Dechema Corrosion Handbook are arranged in alphabetical order of the corrosive media, each chapter being subdivided as follows: A. Metallic Materials; B. Non-Metallic Inorganic Materials; C. Organic Materials; D. Materials with Special Properties. Each chapter is preceded by a Survey Table showing a rough assessment of the behaviour of each material in contact with the title compound.
