Book Description
''Dr. Zhang has undertaken the monumental task of describing the corrosion properties and electrochemistry of zinc in a single book....logical and easy to read...this book will surely become an authoritative source of information on the electrochemistry of this technologically important metal.'' ---from the Foreword by Digby D. Macdonald, Pennsylvania State University, University Park ''A thorough and completely up-to-date review....A well-designed index and an extensive listing of 1,299 references are also commendable features of this excellent monograph.'' ---Choice ''Logical and accessible....undoubtedly set to reign as virtually 'the final word' on zinc for some considerable time to come.'' ---Chemistry and Industry This well-organized volume reviews current research on zinc corrosion and electrochemistry. The most comprehensive work on the subject, the book is supported by over 430 figures and tables.
