Features: The environmental corrosion situation is extremely complex with many influencing factors, making it difficult to simulate in the laboratory. Field experiments are necessary to obtain realistic data, providing a scientific basis for rational material selection or protective measures. This is of great significance for the protection and extension of life of infrastructure, oil and gas pipelines, cables, optical cables, electromechanical products, and even electronic components.
— Professor Shi Changxu's Atmospheric, Seawater, and Soil Corrosion Test Site is a test base for accumulating China's material environmental corrosion data. It needs to be strengthened to contribute more to the country!
— Professor Hou Xianglin states that material environmental corrosion data is a national resource and precious wealth, capable of providing scientific data for an in-depth understanding of the national conditions and mastering the corrosion behavior of materials. It should be developed at a deeper level to transform into productivity and serve national construction.
— Professor Cao Chunan. This book consists of 20 chapters. Chapters 1 to 3 focus on introducing domestic and international research efforts, corrosion failure forms, China's environmental corrosion research approach, methods, and plans, as well as an overview of data processing methods and major progress achieved in China. Chapters 4 to 15 discuss the corrosion of materials in China's atmospheric environment, seawater environments of different seas, and neutral and acidic soil environments, respectively.
