Today all industrial sectors use power electronic systems and high-power devices. They face significant humidity and gaseous exposure-related corrosion issues in harsh environments. Electronics Use in Harsh Environments: Challenges and Perspectives provides a state-of-the-art review on environmental reliability issues in electronics in different technological applications due to exposure in harsh environments. This is an important issue today in relation to both high (power electronics) and low voltage applications as well as in connection with their use in various industrial sectors such as wind energy, solar, automotive, transport, and consumer electronic sectors. The book takes an application-based approach and covers environmental reliability studies in power electronics systems and components. Chapters focus on current applications, environmental reliability issues, and remedial measures that are available. Relevant issues related to electronic processing/material use and corrosion issues, failure mechanisms due to high voltage, and thermal incidents caused by corrosion issues are also discussed in detail. The book will be a valuable reference source for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and engineers, as well as corrosion specialists and all those involved in electronic reliability studies and electrification issues in transport, consumer goods and energy sectors.
