Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of the course, the students will be able to identify the mechanisms of different forms of corrosion of metallic substrates; interpret the Pourbaix Diagrams; know the kinetics rules of corrosion ; know the different experimental methods used to characterize the corrosion phenomena at the industrial and R&D scales and their limitations ; know the different steps needed for a good surface preparation before surface treatments, to choose the most appropriate surface treatment to protect metallic substrates against corrosion, identify the risks of the chosen solutions for the environment and safety
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Potential-pH diagrams; corrosion rate ; effect of the oxidizing ability and the conductivity on corrosion, different kinds of corrosion and their characteristics; Evans diagrams (theory of multielectrodes); passivation and its characteristics; pitting corrosion; intergranular corrosion; electrochemical techniques; ageing tests; surface preparation: degreasing and etching; surface pretreatments : conversion, anodizing, galvanizing and organic coatings.
