Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

The objective is to examine the relationships between the materials utilized in produced components and their surrounding environments, informed by the engineering principles derived from basic sciences. This analysis will focus on the corrosion damage that may arise from the interaction between materials and their environments. By synthesizing insights from various engineering disciplines, we will also address the preventive measures that can be implemented to mitigate corrosion damage.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Students explore the fascinating mechanisms of corrosion by engaging with core scientific principles, deepening their understanding of this critical phenomenon.
2   Students develop the expertise to effectively implement corrosion protection measures in systems that are already compromised by corrosion, ensuring long-lasting integrity and performance.
3   Students develop a strong expertise in recognizing and effectively addressing various types, mechanisms, and prevention methods of corrosion, empowering them to excel across diverse engineering fields.
4   By using basic corrosion knowledge, they gain the ability to predict the corrosion that will be encountered in materials developed for special purposes and to determine preventive measures.
