Description:
The Corrosion and corrosion protection module shall ensure students the basic knowledge about the chemical and electrochemical action of the environment on engineering materials. The module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about corrosion types, corrosion damage types as well as traditional and modern methods for corrosion and materials corrosion resistance testing. The understanding of relationships between the type of corrosion damage and the type of material and the acting environment shall result in acquiring the skill to choose corrosion protections, to apply a complex protection and also the anticorrosion prevention for engineering materials for industrial applications.
Prerequisites:
The knowledge of materials chemistry, materials electrochemistry, physics, and materials science modules is required.
