Description: Industry pays an
enormous price for material degradation. The Handbook of Environmental
Degradation of Materials outlines these costs, but more importantly, explains
how to measure, analyze, and prevent environmental degradation for a wide range
of indsutrial materials. Experts from around the world share how a diverse set
of industries cope with the degradation of metals, polymers, reinforced
concrete, clothing, and wood under adverse environmental conditions such as
weather, seawater, and fire. Case studies show how organizations from small
consulting firms to corporate giants design and manufacture products that are
more resistant to environmental effects. By implementing these standards
companies of all sizes should realize savings beneficial to their operations.
