Nikon Danilovich Tomashov, Scientific Superintendent of the Alloy Corrosion Laboratory of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, has been active for thirty years in research on corrosion and the protection of metals. His work on the theory of corrosion processes and the principles of corrosion-resistant alloying and his development of new methods for the protection of metals have been given wide recognition and have found important practical applications. Professor Tomashov's fundamental work Corrosion Theory and the Protection of Metals has been translated into English and published in the USA in 1966 by the Macmillan Company. In 1966, he was awarded the W. R. Whitney medal by the American National Association of Corrosion Engineers. Galina Prokof'evna Chernova, Senior Scientific Worker in the Corrosion Department of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, completed her· studies at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys in 1947. Her research concerns fundamental work in the field of the passivity of alloys.
The Russian text, originally published for the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, by Nauka Press, Moscow, 1965, has been revised by the authors for the American edition.

Foreword Considerable progress has been made in the past 20 years toward understanding the basic mechanisms of corrosion, and the application of this knowledge to its control. From the very beginning, educational institutions and industrial research laboratories have contributed greatly toward determining and elucidating the fundamental principles of corrosion reactions. Some of the basic principles involved in corrosion of metals can be credited to early investigators. Michael Faraday in 1830-1840 studied the relationship between the quantity of a metal dissolved and the electric current which was produced by this reac
