Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course is to understand the basic principles of corrosion and degradation mechanisms in general as well as the theory of corrosion protection. The course begins with the theoretical foundations of these processes, followed by various types of corrosion and corrosion in the most common environments. The last four lectures deal with the possibilities of corrosion protection.
