Course content
1. Corrosion - principles of corrosion; types of corrosion. Corrosion processes and their types (chemical, physical, electrochemical). 2. Types of corrosion attacks. Particular corrosion environments. Corrosion reactions a corrosion cells. Corrosions by stray current; electrochemistry protections. 3. Electrochemistry cells (primary and secondary batteries). 4. Testing methods for metals corrosion (natural and laboratory corrosion tests) 5. Corrosion a corrosion resistance of non ferrous metals. (Al, Ti, Cu, Zn). 6. Corrosion of glass and plastics. Surface pretreatment of metals. 7. Surface treatment - metallic surface coatings (metal plating). 8. Surface treatment - electroplating. 9. Surface treatment - non metallic surface coatings, enamelling. 10. Surface treatment - organic coatings (paintings). 11. Paintings testing. Non conventional surface treatment - diffusion coatings, PVD, CVD, anodizing, plastics coatings. 12. Corrosion resistant steels.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
Surface treatment, classification, pre-treatment processes, galvanic deposits, conversion and oxide deposits, high velocity oxide fuel (HVOF) deposits, plasma vapour deposition (PVD) and chemical vapour deposition (CVD), metallic and ceramic deposits, organic deposits, ecological aspects of surface treatment.
Students will acquire basic knowledge of corrosion and surface protection of materials. Students will be able to collaborate on problem-solving of this area.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of material engineering. Basic knowledge of chemistry and physics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Presentation

Basic knowledge of materials engineering and chemistry.
