CORROSION OF METALS AND CORROSION CONTROL

Catalog description

Corrosion science and corrosion engineering of metals in various environments. Thermodynamics of corrosion. Electrode kinetics and rates of corrosion. Mixed potential theory. Passivity. Measurement of corrosion. Corrosion prevention through materials selection, design, cathodic and anodic protection and coatings. Discussion of critical material-environment combinations such as corrosion of oil/gas pipelines, corrosion of steel in concrete, corrosion in marine environments, microbially induced corrosion (MIC), corrosion of implants in biological media. Cost of corrosion.
