Introduction; corrosion principles; electrochemical and metallurgical aspects; galvanic corrosion; pitting corrosion; crevice corrosion; stress-corrosion cracking; corrosion fatigue; high temperature corrosion; corrosion-related damage by hydrogen, erosion, and wear; corrosion prevention mechanisms; materials selection for corrosion, cathodic protection, protective coatings and inhibitors; inspection, testing and reliability; destructive and non-destructive testing; corrosion monitoring.

This topic aims to provide students with an understanding of corrosion principles, mechanisms and prevention methods in engineering materials.

At the completion of this topic, students are expected to be able to:

Understand corrosion principles and its electrochemical aspects
Understand different mechanisms of corrosion in materials
Apply their knowledge to control and prevent corrosion in different corrosive applications
Understand inspection and testing techniques as well as corrosion and structural monitoring methods
Analyse case studies and develop their knowledge and methodologies to broader concepts and problems
Practise corrosion and failure of materials in corrosive environment
