Sustainable corrosion protection technologies for modern industrial engineering challenges

Strict environmental regulations have made traditional corrosion prevention methods increasingly untenable, driving demand for green inhibitive materials and modern engineering techniques. Corrosion Engineering in Industry, edited by a team of corrosion scientists and materials engineers based at Khalifa University and King Fahd University, presents well-established research alongside rapidly emerging advancements in sustainable corrosion protection engineering and discusses future research directions for academia and industry.

The book addresses corrosion formation prevention, management, control, and protection using smart materials across industry-specific contexts. It examines environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors, green corrosion prevention strategies, and the sustainable integration of protective technologies. Case studies, policy insights, and economic analyses demonstrate practical feasibility for large-scale implementation, while an interdisciplinary perspective spans chemistry, engineering, economics, and environmental science.

Key topics also include:

• Environmental advantages of green corrosion prevention methods and their role in facilitating sustainable integration of protective technologies across industries
• Industry-specific corrosion challenges examined through detailed case studies demonstrating practical applications and large-scale implementation feasibility
• Interdisciplinary perspectives connecting corrosion chemistry, materials engineering, economic analysis, and environmental science for holistic problem solving
• Smart materials for corrosion protection engineering including design and synthesis of environmentally friendly inhibitors for industrial use
• Policy insights and economic opportunities associated with modern corrosion management, control, and prevention strategies in regulated environments

Corrosion Engineering in Industry serves engineers, researchers, and industrial practitioners who require authoritative guidance on sustainable corrosion protection. By integrating chemistry, engineering, economics, and environmental science, this reference equips professionals with the interdisciplinary knowledge needed to implement modern corrosion prevention strategies that satisfy both performance requirements and environmental regulations.
