✦ Synopsis

It is difficult to ovcrcstiniatc tlic iniportancc of an accurate knowlcdgc of thc corrosion of constructional materials in clicniical engineering work, nnd although two iniportnnt boolis on this subject linrc bccn published in Amcricn thcrc is, as BIr. Tungay says in his prcfnce, n rciil nccd for a book containing rcnlly practical infornintion on thc rcsistnncc of mctals to corrosion undcr contlitions sucli :is obtain in ninniifncturing proccsses. In tlic prcfacc tlic nutlior points out that tlic work is intcndcd particularly for tlic . consiclcrntion of tlic clicmicnl cnginccr rather tlinn for tlic clicmist, and for the clicmicnl works ninnngcr rntlicr tliiin for the mctullurgist or scientist.
