Aim: To illustrate and supplement the corrosion theory that has been taught in 80261 Corrosion Engineering and to give students the ability to undertake corrosion experiments and to assess the significance of the results as well as to produce and examine corrosion protective coatings.
Contents: Undertaking electrochemical measurements on single electrode and coupled electrode systems with respect to describing corrosion situations and measuring corrosion rates. Investigations of the conditions for corrosion, passivity and immunity and experimental determination of polarisation graphs for passivable metals (Pourbaix diagrams). Investigation of corrosion types: galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, pitting, intercrystalline corrosion, selective corrosion and stress corrosion using standard testing methods. Assessment of different materials and the influence of environmental factors. Corrosion of reinforcement iron in concrete. Inhibitors. Cathodic and anodic protection. Production and control of corrosion protective surface coatings.
