Features: The environmental corrosion situation is extremely complex, with many influencing factors, making it difficult to simulate in the laboratory. On-site experiments are necessary to obtain realistic data, thereby 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 valuable 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 is one of the research achievements supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. It reflects the work results of China's environmental corrosion test and researchers over more than ten years. Some of the results have been applied in large-scale projects such as the Three Gorges Dam. The 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 approaches, methods, and plans, as well as an overview of data processing methods and the main 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. Chapters 16 to 20 briefly introduce some applications of China's research results on material corrosion in natural environments over the years. This book is suitable for scientific research personnel, technical staff, and students in material science, corrosion and protection, and related fields. It can also be referenced by technical management personnel in infrastructure construction projects and faculty and students of relevant colleges and universities.
