Excerpt from Structure of the Coating on Tinned Sheet Copper in Relation to a Specific Case of Corrosion
It is to be noted that the Library Of Congress is located in a section of Washington, itself uncommonly free from smoke, etc., which is not near power stations or factories producing smoke, such that the atmospheric conditions 'may be looked on as most unfavorable for corrosion.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the corrosion of tinned sheet copper, particularly in cases where the tin plating offers insufficient protection and corrosion sets in. The author explores the structure and composition of the tin coating and how it relates to the corrosion process. Drawing from a specific case study of extensive corrosion on the roof of the Library of Congress, the author examines the role of surface scratches in exposing the underlying copper which subsequently triggers galvanic reactions that result in pitting and the formation of corrosion products. The book also discusses the potential impact of iron and zinc impurities in the coating and emphasizes the crucial role of even minute variations in electrolytic solution potential exhibited by the base copper. The author's detailed analysis provides valuable insights for understanding and preventing corrosion issues in tinned copper applications, making this book a useful resource for professionals involved in material science, roofing, and architectural preservation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
