6 ½ X 9 7/16 in Preface. Introduction: Corrosion and electric current ? 200 y ears together.
1. Dependence of the corrosion behavior of metals at tacked by an external current on their initial state.
1.1. State of metals in aggressive media in the absence of attack by external currents
1.2. Polarization of metals 1.3. Attack of external ano dic current on actively corroding metals 1.4. Attack of external anod ic current on passive metals 1.5. Attack of external anodic current o n thermodynamically stable metals 1.6. Attack of external cathodic cu rrent on metals 1.7. Attack of external alternating current on metals
1.8. External current as a factor of the aggressiveness of the envir onment 2. Corrosion and protection of underground and underw ater structures attacked by stray currents.
2.1. Main media , sources of stray currents and objects of their corrosive attack 2.2 . Methods of detection and control of stray currents 2.3. Metal corro sion by stray currents 2.4. Protection of metals against corrosion at tack by stray currents 2.4.1. Measures for reducing stray currents
