Electrochemical Corrosion

Theory component:
1. Learn how the environmental affects the properties and performance of engineered metallic and ceramic materials.
2. Understand the prevention of the negative environmental effects on metallic and ceramic using electrochemical methods.
3. Master some of the basic principles of corrosion and degradation of metals and alloys.

Laboratory component:
4. Understand the principles of electrochemistry and experimental-related set-ups.
5. Use the electrochemical approaches to probe the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of corrosion, including the rate of corrosion.
6. Master certain software and mathematics in dealing with the experimental data.
7. Link the theoretical knowledge with experimental phenomena.

This would be useful for those of you who are interested corrosion engineering of materials applied in material industry.
