DESCRIPTION:
"strongly recommended for engineers and scientists that design components that might be exposed to MIC…would also make an excellent text…" (Journal of Metals Online, October 23, 2007)
JASON LEE is a Materials and Corrosion Engineer at the Naval Research Laboratory, Ocean Sciences Branch, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi.. BRENDA LITTLE is Senior Scientist for Marine Molecular Processes at the Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. She serves on the editorial board for Biofouling and is a National Association of Corrosion Engineers International Fellow
This book combines recent findings from diverse disciplines into one comprehensive reference. A multi-disciplinary, multi-industry overview of microbiologically influenced corrosion, with strategies for diagnosis and control or preventionMicrobiologically Influenced Corrosion helps engineers and scientists understand and combat the costly failures that occur due to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Complete with case histories from a variety of environments, it covers:Biofilm formationCausative organisms, relating bacteria and fungi to corrosion mechanisms for groups of metalsDiagnosing and monitoring MICElectrochemical techniques, with an overview of methods for detection of MICThe impact of alloying elements, including antimicrobial metals, and design features on MICMIC of non-metallicsStrategies for control or prevention of MIC, including engineering, chemical, and biological approachesThis is a valuable, all-inclusive reference for corrosion scientists, engineers, and researchers, as well as designers, managers, and operators.
MIC - Great for newcomers Microbially Influenced Corrosion provides a strong overview of the topic. For engineers and microbiologists new to the topic, it's a fine survey. Like any monograph that attempts to cover an area of research in which new information is becoming available, readers who have been keeping current in MIC research will find the information a bit dated. However, the excellent tables and photomicrographs do a wonderful job of il. Clear, well written, and useful Easy reading, technically complete, and current. I am a corrosion engineer. This is a good reference book for your library.
