Summary

This must-have reference for all chemical engineers, material scientists and chemists working with steel or acidic media explains how to strengthen the corrosion resistance of steels as reaction, transport and storage devices against lyes (hydroxides) and organic acids.

The handbook contains comprehensive information, including tabulated data and references, on the corrosion properties of the following materials:

Unalloyed steels and cast steel
Unalloyed cast iron
High-alloy cast iron
High-silicon cast iron
Structural steels with up to 12% chromium
Ferritic chromium steels with more than 12% chromium
Ferritic-austenitic steels with more than 12% chromium
High-alloy multiphase steels
Ferritic/perlitic-martensitic steels
Ferritic-austenitic steels/duplex steels
Austenitic chromium-nickel steels
Austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum steels
Austenitic chromium-nickel steels with special alloying additions
Special iron-based alloys

The following corrosive media are considered:

Acetic Acid
Alkanecarboxylic Acids
Carbonic Acid
Formic Acid
Sulfonic Acids
Alkaline Earth Hydroxides
Ammonia and Ammonium Hydroxide
Lithium Hydroxide
Potassium Hydroxide
Sodium Hydroxide

Author Biography

Michael Schütze, born in 1952, studied materials sciences at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg from 1972 to 1978, and then joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of DECHEMA as a research associate. He received his doctorate in engineering sciences from the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH) in 1983, and his lecturing qualification in 1991, becoming a member of the external teaching staff of the RWTH, where he has held a professorship since 1998 and has been director of the Karl Winnacker Institute since 1996. He is a recipient of the Friedrich Wilhelm Prize, the Rahmel Schwenk Medal and the Cavallaro Medal, a past chairman of the Gordon Research Conference on Corrosion, editor of the journal Materials and Corrosion, past president of the European Federation of Corrosion, and of the World Corrosion Organization, as well as chairman of the Working Party Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products of the European Federation of Corrosion.

Thomas L. Ladwein, born in 1955, studied chemistry and metallurgy at the Universities of Saarbrücken and Münster, and graduated with a Diploma in Chemistry in 1980 and a PhD in Sciences in 1984. After that he worked as a R&D and application engineer for a chemical fabricator specialized in refractory metals. In 1987 he joined the stainless steel divison of Thyssen AG (later ThyssenKrupp AG) and worked there in several positions in R&D, application engineering and technical marketing. Since 2003 he is full time professor for electrochemistry, corrosion and tribology at Aalen University of Applied Science. He works in various committees and working parties of DECHEMA, GfKORR (German Corrosion Society), VDEh (German Iron and Steel Institute) and NACE International. He is current chair of the NACE committee "STG 39: Process Industries - Materials Applications and Experiences" and chairman of the NACE European Area. In 2011 he received the Herbert H. Uhlig Award from NACE International.

Roman Bender, born in 1971, studied chemistry at the Justus Liebig University of Giessen from 1992 to 1997. He received his doctorate in natural sciences from the Technical University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen) in 2001. After receiving his diploma he joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of the DECHEMA in Frankfurt (Main) as a research associate, where he has been head of the materials and corrosion group since 2000, and editor-in-chief of the world's largest corrosion data collection, the DECHEMA Werkstofftabelle and the Corrosion Handbook. In 2008 Dr. Bender was appointed CEO of the GfKORR - the Society for Corrosion Protection.
