Course Objectives		After completing this course the student will be able to: 1. Know the importance and interdisciplinary character of corrosion 2. To apply basic corrosion knowledge to engineering problems 3. Understand material-environment and corrosion type relation 4. Understand the necessity of learning basic principles of corrosion and corrosion protection for material selection and application 5. Analyse and bring viable engineering solutions to actual corrosion and corrosion protection problems
Course Description		Definition and significance of corrosion. Classification of corrosion. Thermodynamic and kinetic principles of electrochemical corrosion. Passivity. Forms of corrosion:- uniform corrosion, pitting, crevice, galvanic corrosion, environmentally induced cracking, corrosion types induced by the flow velocity of the environment, effects of metallurgical structure on corrosion, corrosion related damages by hydrogen, erosion and wear. Corrosive environments: - atmosphere, soil, water and aqueous environments, concrete, high temperature environments. Principles of corrosion protection:- design, change of metal, change of environment, change of interface. Inorganic, metallic and conversion coatings. Organic coatings and inhibitors.- cathodic and anodic protection. Principles of materials selection for corrosion protection
Course Outcomes		1. Student will learn the effect of the environment in which materials are designed and produced to function, the importance of theoretical knowledge in devising practical solutions to corrosion problems and of material protection for health, security, engineering and environmental reasons. 2. The student will be able to analyse various corrosion related engineering failure problems, to explain them and suggest engineering solutions. 3. He will learn to cooperate with other people to attack and solve problem and will also learn how to present his solution.
