26205 Corrosion Engineering Summer
Description and rationale: The aim of this course is to provide
basic knowledge of corrosion and corrosion
protection of metals and alloys from electrochemistry.
Thermodynamics and electrochemistry are the basis of
the course and important concepts such as local cell model for
corrosion, charge transfer process, and
heterogeneous reaction mechanics are reviewed. On the basis of
the knowledge of corrosion phenomena, the
methods are introduced how one can protect metals and alloys
against corrosion.
Keyords: Corrosion, Corrosion protection, Electrochemistry,
Charge transfer process, Impedance, assivation
and passive film, !ocal cell model
!re"re#uisite: thermodynamics, heterogeneous reaction mechanism,
andelectrochemistry
