Electrochemical Corrosion

Theory component:

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

Laboratory component:

• Understand the principles of electrochemistry and experimental-related set-ups.
• Use the electrochemical approaches to probe the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of corrosion, including the rate of corrosion.
• Master certain software and mathematics in dealing with the experimental data.
• 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.
