This book provides fundamental background for understanding the interdisciplinary roles of microbiology, metallurgy and electrochemistry as they relate to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). 

Discusses methods by which MIC can be detected and monitored, as well as its prevention. Examines thoroughly how welding, heat treatment, and other metallurgical processes and variables affect corrosion resistance.
