Course content
Cost of corrosion; corrosion mechanisms, principles of electrochemistry; Pourbaix and Evans diagram; mixed potential theory and galvanic elements in short circuit. Active-to-passive metals. Corrosion morphologies, crevice corrosion, pitting, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion, corrosion fatigue, hydrogen embrittlement. Corrosion in industrial environment, in soil, air, marine environments. Corrosion in concrete. Oil & Gas corrosion. Methods to prevent corrosion: cathodic and anodic protection, inhibitors. Corrosion tests and technical evaluation.
Suggested prerequisites
There are no prerequisites to attend the course, but it is advisable that candidates have a good grounding in materials science, inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry.
Reference material
i) Bianchi, Mazza, Corrosione e protezione dei metalli, AIM.
ii) ASM Handbook Volume 13A: Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection, ASM International, 2003
iii) Corrosion Tests and Standards: application and interpretation, Ed. Robert Baboian, ASTM, 1995
Assessment method:
The exam consists of an oral interview lasting about 45-60 minutes into whether the skills acquired meet the objectives pursued by the teaching as well as critical skills developed by students in relation to matters within the course and their ability to make the appropriate interrelationships with other disciplines followed.
