This is an introductory course on corrosion engineering. The course emphasizes fundamental concepts of corrosion and applies these concepts to corrosion control. The course will develop thermodynamic and kinetics framework of corrosion such as Nernst equation, electrode potentials, Pourbaix diagram, polarization, corrosion rates and passivity. Corrosion control and mitigation procedures such as materials selection, use of inhibitors and application of anodic and cathodic protection systems will be discussed.
