Learning outcomes
|
This subject introduces students to the basic of electrochemical corrosion processes affecting metals in atmosphere, water, and soil; it also presents methods of corrosion protection of metal and non-metal materials. It further discusses the chemical corrosion issues in relation to industrial production, including the analyses of various types of corrosion. It explains the principles and effects of anticorrosion protections.
Graduate is well versed in the branch of corrosion and materials protection after the graduation. He/she is qualified to make decisions about choice of appropriate corrosion protection against atmospheric corrosion.
