Clayton Second semester 2007 (Day)
Introduction to the typical manifestations and types of corrosion usually found in the field in areas including marine, chemical/manufacture, transport and offshore industries. Emphasis will be placed on identification and recognition of the types of corrosion likely to occur and then taking this further towards developing strategies to mitigate the corrosion. The mechanisms of corrosion in some environments will also be studied, including stress corrosion cracking and microbiologically induced corrosion, corrosion in reinforced concrete based structures. Corrosion mitigation mechanisms will be discussed, including, materials selection, cathodic protection, coatings and inhibitors.
To gain a detailed understanding of corrosion mechanisms and methods of corrosion prevention and protection.
