PEC-Met 0031 Corrosion Principles
Course Description
The course is divided into few topics sections. The first topic is about the historical difference between reduction and oxidation half-cell potentials is presented. The sign difference between electrolyzes (i.e., cells which Graduate students frequently view electrochemical and corrosion engineering as dichotomous disciplines . The course discussed here was designed to show the similarities … require energy) and spontaneous or galvanic corrosion cells is discussed and a large number of back-of-the-envelope homework problems are assigned. The objective of these problems is for the student to obtain the ability to determine the initial direction of the total cell reaction, the thermodynamic conversion of the reactor, the minimum decomposition voltage of the reactor, and the tendency for a system to corrode.
Course Contents
The evaluation of corrosion (economics, safety, electrochemical nature of corrosion, the eight forms of corrosion and corrosion rate determination), Electrochemical thermodynamics and electrode potential (electrode sign conventions, potential/pH diagrams, and experimental measurements), Electrochemical kinetics of corrosion (Faraday’s Law, mixed potential theory, experimental methods, and instrumentation), Passivity and properties of passive films on metals (alloy evaluation and experimental methods), Polarization methods for measuring corrosion rates (Tafel extrapolation & polarization resistance, instrumental methods and commercial corrosion monitoring), Galvanic, concentration cell, pitting and crevice corrosion (how to characterize the different forms of corrosion, their evaluation and prevention methods), Effects of metallurgical structure on corrosion (intergranular corrosion, weldment corrosion, and susceptibility to hydrogen damage), Corrosion in aircraft corrosive environments (typical corrosion problems encountered in aircraft applications), Coatings & inhibitors (Organic coatings, paints, metallic coatings, inhibitors), Materials selection and design for aircraft (Alloy selection, designing to prevent corrosion, and economics), Evaluation of Corrosion Inhibitors used in aircraft, Analytical techniques used in failure analysis (NDT techniques , SEM/EDS, TEM, XRD, XPS, Failure analysis in aircraft.

The distance education program works as follows:
• Each course is 8 weeks in duration.
• You will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material via the internet. In addition, you will receive practice problems and assignments very similar to the associations’ past exams.
• A one-hour conference meeting session will be conducted by your instructor each week. The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments as well as answer student questions that should be sent to the instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition, by being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions answered as well.
• Each set of assignments must be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed assignment will be marked and returned by your instructor.
• Upon completion of the assignments, you will be sent a final exam. It is recommended that you try to simulate the actual exam conditions (i.e., no aids and a time limit) when writing it. You will then submit this final exam for review and marking.
