Advanced Modeling Methods for Pitting Corrosion in Metals

Pitting corrosion presents a critical challenge to engineering infrastructure, with limited comprehensive modeling methodologies available to evaluate the effectiveness of corrosion mitigation strategies tailored to specific structural systems. This book aims to bridge that gap by introducing advanced, integrated models that encompass the various stages and influencing factors of the corrosion process. It provides an in-depth exploration of corrosion fatigue mechanisms, the impact of stress and temperature, and practical approaches to mitigate corrosion-induced damage in structural components.
