Corrosion of Refractories

"This first volume ... of a series of three, is devoted to the fundamentals of corrosion to better explain its causes, effects and means of eliminating it. Hence, the present volume is divided in seven chapter, focusing on Thermodynamic and Kinetic aspects, on wettability, infiltration and mechanisms of reactions (L-S and G-S) and the coupling of thermal, chemical and mechanical stresses, always considering the changes in the microstructure of the materials under such constraints helping to understand corrosion at a multiscale level."--page viii.
