The textbook Corrosion Engineering: Principles and Solved Problems, 2nd Edition provides a rigorous foundation in electrochemical degradation theory and corrosion prevention design. Authored by Branko N. Popov, this text equips graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, and practicing corrosion engineers with essential analytical tools to evaluate metal breakdown and structural durability.

Core theoretical chapters explore fundamental thermodynamics, electrochemical kinetics, and material passivity. The narrative then progresses to specific environmental failure mechanisms, examining the chemical dynamics of galvanic corrosion, pitting and crevice corrosion, and high-temperature degradation encountered across industrial facilities.

To support applied learning, the text features over 500 solved problems, explanatory diagrams, real-world case studies, and end-of-chapter exercises. This structured problem-solving approach makes the volume ideal for advanced university coursework and professional self-study.
