Synopsis

Practical models for protecting coated metals

This nonfiction work explains how scientists model corrosion and blistering in organic coatings. It blends theory and application, showing how diffusion, adsorption, and electrical factors shape protection performance. The book presents mathematical models that relate coating thickness, porosity, and pigment content to real-world durability.

Readers will gain a clear view of how water and oxygen move through coatings, how blistering forms and grows, and how different factors influence long-term protection. The discussion covers both diffusion processes and the electrical resistance of corrosion products, tying theory to design choices for better coatings.

• How dimensionless parameters capture coating behavior across different materials
• How pigment volume, particle size, and coating thickness affect protective performance
• Different submodels for corrosion product formation and their impact on resistance
• Practical design takeaways for extending the life of coated metals

Ideal for readers of materials science, corrosion engineering, and coating technology seeking a rigorous, applied look at coating durability.
