I am looking for a good Corrosion Engineering Book or Guide, especially for metals.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for corrosion data for metals or an explanation of corrosion processes for metals?

For corrosion data;
Handbook of corrosion data by
Bruce D. Craig, David S. Anderson, published by ASM International
 
The standard books are those by Fontana and Jones.
 
Another is "Corrosion and Corrosion Control" by Uhlig.
 
Look around the ASM site as their are many avenues to the information that you may require.

The first link is to a self-study course that presents a very good basis for understanding corrosion. They also offer on-site, online, and courses at various locations. All of these materials are good reference books. Originally the Corrosion course was written by the aforementioned Dr. Mars G. Fontana. There are numerous books and pamphlets concerning corrosion written or co-authored by Dr. Fontana

On the second link are the ASM handbooks that contain just about everything you want to know about corrosion.

All the recommendations post above are excellant and I was fortunate enough to have taken several of th on-site courses. Also our lab keep the whole set of ASM handbooks up to date.
There is another book by Dr. HH Uhlig that digs in deep with some aspects of the corrosion process Though it's a little dated certain aspects are still very pertinent. I'm looking for my copy to get the book information on
 
pitg,

Are you specifically looking for a reference that serves the chemical process industry? If so, then perhaps the book that you linked will be useful (I am not familiar with it). If not, then there are a number of references such as the various ASM HANDBOOKS and other technical books that will offer broader coverage, at a better price. 190 euros for < 250 pages is quite expensive for a general reference.
