Abstract
History of metals and it has been looked on as a menace which destroys metals and structures
and turns beauty into a beast. Our human civilization cannot exist without metals and yet
corrosion is their Achilles heel. Although familiarity with corrosion is ancient, it has been
taken very pas sively by scientists and engineers in the past. Surprisingly, it is only during
the last six decades that corrosion science has gradually evolved to a well-defined discipline.
Corrosion Science and Engineering is now an integral part of engineering curriculum in
leading universities throughout the world. With the rapid advances in mate rials in the new
millennium, the demand for corrosion engineering courses has dramatically increased. This
has necessitated the need for the publication of new books. Professor U. R. Evans, Prof. H.
H. Uhlig and Prof. M. Fontana wrote a classical generation of basic textbooks covering the
fundamentals of corrosion science and engineering. These books served as texts for decades
and some of the mare still being used. Several new books in corrosion have been published
in recent years tocaterto the needs science and engineering students. As a teacher of
corrosion engineering for the last twenty-five years, I found the material to be deficient in
corrosion engineering content. However, sufficient coverage was given to the understanding
of corrosion science and engineering
