Corrosion Failures and Analysis

The course will focus on citing failures of component due to corrosion and analysis of the corrosion events, which have led to the failures. It will take examples from different fields and industries such as (i) Household, (ii) Construction, (iii) Petrochemical, (iv) Naval structures and (v) Medical. The course will also discuss the possible protection philosophies on the basis of (i) Materials, (ii) Change of environment, (iii) Design, (iv) Coatings, (v) Inhibitors.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Bachelor and Master studentsIndustry people, where corrosion is a problemPhD student working in corrosionPREREQUISITES :Chemical Thermodynamics, Phase transformation and ElectrochemistryINDUSTRIES SUPPORT :Oil companies, Chemical companies and Power sector, construction
