Marcus (Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie des Surfaces, U. Pierre et Marie Curie, France) presents 19 chapters that survey the contributions of materials science, surface science, and corrosion science to the study of the mechanisms of corrosion and protection mechanisms. Thirteen chapters cover basic phenomena, including adsorption, entry of hydrogen, anodic dissolution, passivation, passivity breakdown and localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and corrosion fatigue. Final chapters explain the basics of such applications related to corrosion inhibition, atmospheric corrosion, microbially induced corrosion, corrosion in nuclear systems, and corrosion of microelectronic and magnetic data-storage systems.

Reviews recent advances in the understanding of corrosion and protection mechanisms in 16 contributed chapters. Chapters 1 to 10 cover the basic phenomena in corrosion. Chapters 11 to 16 provide the connection between the theoretical aspects of corrosion mechanisms and practical applications in industry: corrosion inhibition, atmospheric corrosion, microbially induced corrosion, corrosion in nuclear systems; corrosion of microelectronic and magnetic-storage devices, and the technologically important area of corrosion protection by surface coatings.
