Corrosion Engineering

This specialization covers metals degrading in their environment and how that is prevented: electrochemical thermodynamics and kinetics, Pourbaix and polarisation behaviour, and the distinct forms -- uniform attack, galvanic, pitting, crevice, intergranular, erosion and stress corrosion cracking. Expect rate measurement and monitoring, and the control methods: material selection, coatings and linings, inhibitors, and cathodic and anodic protection.
