Review From the reviews:"Corrosion of Metals: Physicochemical Principles and Current Problems is a revision and translation into English of Die Korrosion der Metalle … . Kaesche has provided ample opportunity for the serious reader to study the subjects in greater depth. This text is a solid addition to the library of both the practicing engineer and the researcher … . The depth and breadth of the material … make this an appropriate adjunct or even a primary text in a senior-level or graduate course on the subject." (Edward J. Bawolek, The Industrial Physicist, October, 2004)"In corrosion of metals, Helmut Kaesche … gives a rich and insightful overview of metallic corrosion to the readers based upon his research works for several decades on passivity, stress corrosion cracking, pitting corrosion and corrosion fatigue of various metal systems. … On the whole, this book is well balanced between the practical and theoretical viewpoints on metallic corrosion. … I think that it is a mine of information relating to corrosion."
