Durability of Light Weight Steel Construction explores the atmospheric corrosion of lightweight steel used in building construction, focusing on the effects of copper and other alloys. James H. Cissel and William E. Quinsey divide the book into three parts: the influence of copper and other alloys on corrosion, analysis of service records for lightweight steel structures, and methods for protecting steel surfaces. They emphasize that small additions of copper can significantly enhance steel's resistance to atmospheric corrosion, while alloys like nickel also show beneficial effects. Offering authoritative information on steel durability, this book offers insight into the selection of construction materials.
