Aims :
To
give at the students an exhaustive picture on
the metals corrosion phenomenon defining the technical
and scientific aspects and to show the most typical
corrosion forms taking in consideration some practical
cases. Furthermore, the students have to be able
to select the suitable materials in order to use
them correctly.
Topics :
Chemical, physical and mechanical
interactions of the materials with the environment.
Economic aspects of the materials deterioration.
Technical and scientific aspects of the corrosion
phenomena. High temperature oxidation and corrosion
by means of electrochemical mechanism.
Typical forms of corrosion: galvanic, pitting
, crevice, intergranular , stress corrosion, etc.
Corrosion environments: atmosphere, fresh waters.
Criterions of materials selection. Typical corrosion
phenomena of the stainless steel. Anticorrosive
treatments of materials used in the appliances
production industry.
Corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion protection techniques.
Constructive strategies to avoid corrosive phenomena.
The course consists of theoretical lectures, practical
lectures using photographic support and material
samples which were subjected to corrosion phenomena.
Practical laboratory exercises are planned.
