How can I protect the surface of a product from degrading in the environment in which consumers will use the product? What protective measures can I apply to structural materials if they are subjected to a potentially catastrophic attack by intense heat? The handbook has a practical, not a theoretical, orientation A substantial portion includes chapters on preventive and remedial aspects of industrial and commercial applications where EDM can have major and, in some cases, even catastrophic consequences I want this handbook to serve as a source of practical advice to the reader I would like the handbook to be the first information resource a practicing engineer reaches for when faced with a new problem or opportunity—a place to turn to even before turning to other print sources, including officially sanctioned ones, or to Internet search engines So the handbook is more than a voluminous reference or collection of background readings In each chapter, the reader should feel that he or she is in the hands of an experienced consultant who is providing sensible engineering-design-oriented advice that can lead to beneficial action and results But why develop such a handbook? The data in a single handbook of the scope outlined above can be indicative only, not comprehensive After all, this handbook cannot purport to cover any of the subjects it addresses in anywhere near the detail that an information resource devoted to a single subject can Moreover, no information resource—I mean no handbook, no shelf of books, not even a web site or an Internet portal or search engine (not yet, at least!)—can offer an engineer, designer, or materials scientist complete assurance that he or she will, by consulting such a resource, gain from it all the knowledge necessary to incorporate into the design of a part, component, product, machine, assembly, or structure measures that will prevent its constituent materials from degrading to the point of failure or collapse when confronted by adverse environmental conditions, whether anticipated, such as weathering, or unexpectedly severe, such as the heat generated by a fire resulting from an explosion Nevertheless, when a practitioner is considering how to deal with any aspect of EDM, whether in the design, control, prevention, inspection, or remedia- vii viii PREFACE tion phase, he or she has to start somewhere The classic first step, which I have confirmed in surveys and focus groups of engineering professionals, was, in the pre-Internet era, either to ask a colleague (usually, the first choice), open a filing cabinet to look for reports or articles that might have been clipped and saved, scan the titles on one’s own bookshelves or, when all else had failed, go to an engineering library, where one would hope to find more information sources than in one’s own office, sometimes with the help of a good reference librarian To be sure, there are numerous references that deal with separate aspects of EDM Corrosion, for example, is a topic that has been covered in great detail in voluminous references, from the points of view of materials themselves, of corroding media, and of testing and evaluation in various industries Professional societies—NACE, ASM International, and ASTM—have devoted great energy to developing and disseminating information about corrosion The topic of environmental degradation of plastics, to take another example, has been covered in other reference books, albeit to a lesser extent So there are many print references where a practitioner can begin the study of many individual topics within the subject of EDM Of course, this is the Internet era Many, if not most, practitioners now begin the search for EDM information by typing words or phrases into a search engine Such activity, if the search has been done properly (a big if, just ask any reference librarian) will yield whatever the search engines have indexed, which, of course, may or may not be information useful to the particular situation And a search engine will not connect practitioners and students to the content of valuable engineering references, unless one has access to web sites where such references are offered in full text Moreover, engineers, designers, and materials scientists also practice in an era of innovative materials selection and substitution that enable them to develop new versions of products, machines, or assemblies that are cheaper and more efficient than older versions made with more expensive, harder to form, and heavier materials There can be competition for the attention of practitioners For example, while steel may still account for slightly more than half of the material in an automobile, the rest is made from a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic materials, and the competition among suppliers of these nonferrous materials for inclusion by automobile manufacturers is, to judge by the wars of words waged by materials trade associations, intense So here is the situation with regard to EDM knowledge and information that practitioners find themselves in: they must have access to information that covers numerous materials, as well as numerous degradation media and environments, but it has not been easy to find information of such broad scope in a single, easily accessible resource What I have sought to with this handbook is to deal with the EDM knowledge and information situation by including enough information about a broad range of subjects that deal with multiple aspects of EDM so that the handbook will be positioned at the hub of an information wheel, if you will, with the rim of the wheel divided into segments, each of which includes the wealth of information that exists for each of the topics within the subject of materials’ environmental degradation Each individual chapter in the handbook is intended to point readers to a web of information sources dealing with the subjects that the chapter addresses Furthermore, each chapter, where appropriate, is intended to provide enough analytical techniques and data so that the reader can employ a preliminary approach to solving problems The idea, then, is for the handbook to be the place for practitioners, as well as advanced students, to turn to when beginning to look for answers to questions in a way that may enable them to select a material, substitute one material or another, or employ a protection technique or mechanism that will save money, energy, or time I have asked contributors to write, to the extent their backgrounds and capabilities make possible, in a style that will reflect practical discussion informed by real-world experience I would like readers to feel that they are in the presence of experienced teachers and consultants who know about the multiplicity of technical and societal issues that impinge on any topic within the subject of environmental degradation of materials At the same time, the level is such that students and recent graduates can find the handbook as accessible as experienced engineers I have gathered together contributors from a wide range of locations and organizations While most of the contributors are from North America, there are two from India, one from Hong Kong, two from Russia (who collaborated on a chapter), and one from Sweden Personnel from the Royal Thai Navy contributed to the chapter on oil tankers Sixteen chapters are by academic authors; 11 are by authors who work in industry, are at research organizations, or are consultants The handbook is divided into six parts Part I, which deals with an assessment of the economic cost PREFACE of environmental degradation of materials, has just one chapter, a recapitulation of the work done by a team including Mike Brongers and Gerhardus Koch, both at CC Technologies, a corrosion consultancy in Dublin, Ohio Part II contains three chapters on failure analysis and measurement, by K.E Perumal, a consultant in Mumbai, India, Sean Brossia, who works on corrosion at the Southwest Research Institute in Can Antonio, Texas, and Jim Harvey, a plastics consultant in Corvalis, Oregon Part III deals with several different types of degradation Professors Raymond Buchanan and E.E Stansbury of the University of Tennessee and A.S Khanna of the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay cover metallic corrosion Jim Harvey, in his second chapter in the handbook, treats polymer aging Neal Berke, who works at WR Grace in Cambridge, Massachusetts, writes about the environmental degradation of reinforced concrete Professor J.D Gu of the University of Hong Kong deals with biodegration Part III concludes with a chapter on material flammability by Marc Janssens, also at Southwest Research Institute In Part IV, the handbook moves on to protective measures, starting with a chapter on cathodic protection by Prof Richard Evitts of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada In addition to metals, Part IV deals with polymers, textiles, and wood Professors Gennadi Zaikov and S.M Lomakin of the Institute of Biochemical Physics in Moscow cover polymeric flame retardants Hechmi Hamouda, at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, writes about thermal protective clothing The contributors of the two chapters on wood and measures that can be taken to protect it are from the Pacific Northwest—Phil Evans and his colleagues, Brian Matthews and Jahangir Chowdhury, are at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and Jeff Morrell is at Oregon State in Corvalis Protection issues are also the subjects of Part V, which is called Surface Engineering and deals with coatings Gary Halada and Clive Clayton, professors at SUNY in Stony Brook, set the stage for this section of the handbook with a chapter on the intersection of design, manufacturing, and surface engineering Professor Tom Schuman at the University of Missouri—Rolla, continues with a discussion of protective coatings for aluminum alloys Professor Rudy Buchheit, at the Ohio State University in Columbus, ix writes about anti-corrosion paints, and Mark Nichols, at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan, writes about paint weathering tests, a topic of great interest to auto makers Mitch Dorfman, who works at Sulzer Metco in Westbury, Long Island, covers thermal spray coatings Professor “Vipu” Vipulanandan, with his colleague, J Liu, deals with concrete surface coatings issues Ray Taylor of the University of Virginia closes Part V with a discussion of coatings defects The handbook concludes with five chapters that cover industrial applications with, collectively, a wide variety of materials The chapters are meant to illustrate in a hands-on way points made more generally elsewhere in the handbook The first of these chapters, on degradation of spacecraft materials, comes from a Goddard Research Center group, including Bruce Banks, Joyce Dever, Kim de Groh, and Sharon Miller Branko Popov of the University of South Caroline in Columbia wrote the next chapter, which deals with metals, and is on cathodic protection for pipelines The next chapter is also on metals David Olson, a professor at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden headed a team, including George Wang of Mines, John Spencer of the American Bureau of Shipping, and Sittha Saidararamoot and Brajendra Mishra of the Royal Thai Navy, that provides practical insight into the real-world problem of tanker corrosion Mikael Hedenqvist of Institutionen för Polymerteknologi, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm deals with polymers in his chapter on barrier packaging materials used in consumer products Steve Tait, an independent consultant in Madison, Wisconsin, closes the handbook with a chapter on preventing and controlling corrosion in chemical processing equipment My undying thanks to all of the contributors: I salute their professionalism and perseverance I know how difficult it is to fit a writing project into a busy schedule Chapters like those in this handbook not get written in an evening or in a few hours snatched from a weekend afternoon Thanks also to Millicent Treloar, the acquisitions editor at William Andrew Publishing And, of course, many thanks to my wife Arlene, who successfully cushions each day, no matter how frustrating it’s been Myer Kutz Delmar,
