Course description
In Corrosion Theory and Protection , you'll learn ...
- The causes of corrosion
- The different forms of corrosion
- Measures you can employ to mitigate corrosion
Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 10 pages
Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of a material, usually a metal, because of a reaction with its environment and which requires the presence of an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, and an electrical current. The annual cost of corrosion and corrosion protection in the U.S. is estimated to exceed $1 trillion.
Corrosion can be mitigated by five basic methods: coatings, cathodic protection, materials selection, chemical inhibitors, and environmental change. It is important that the engineer understands the causes and forms of corrosion, as well as the available protections, to ensure that the most cost effective corrosion mitigation method is employed for each application.
In this course, the student will study the causes and forms of corrosion and the methods available for providing corrosion protection.
