| Course Description |
| Definition and significance of corrosion. Classification of corrosion. Thermodynamic and kinetic principles of electrochemical
corrosion. Passivity. Forms of corrosion:- uniform corrosion, pitting, crevice, galvanic corrosion, environmentally induced
cracking, corrosion types induced by the flow velocity of the environment, effects of metallurgical structure on corrosion,
corrosion related damages by hydrogen, erosion and wear. Corrosive environments: - atmosphere, soil, water and aqueous
environments, concrete, high temperature environments. Principles of corrosion protection:- design, change of metal, change of
environment, change of interface. Inorganic, metallic and conversion coatings. Organic coatings and inhibitors.- cathodic and
anodic protection. Principles of materials selection for corrosion protection. |
