Course Objective

Provide students with the basic principles of corrosion and equip them with the necessary knowledge and tools required to deal with the corrosion related problems in
practice.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Describe various types of corrosion and understand corrosion resistance
2   Recognize the classical cases of corrosion especially occurring between favourable and unfavourable combinations of engineering materials.
3   Understand and explain the common methods of corrosion control: materials selection and design, coatings, inhibitors, galvanic and electrochemical protection.
4   Use electrochemical data to postulate and formulate electrochemical half-cell and cell reactions for corrosion processes.
5   Construct and interpret the area of Pourbaix diagrams
6   Understand the types of polarization.as rate controlling mechanizms in corrosion reacton
7   Explain the importance of electrochemical tests and Tafel polarization in measuring corrosion rate.
8   Understand and explain the role of passivity in the corrosion resistance of materials such as stainless steel. Understand the use of electrochemical anodic polarization to induce and evaluate passivity.
