Introduction

Basic theory and how to defeat corrosion attacks by means of theory, cathodic protection and proper material selection are main topics. Also environmental - sensitive fractures in metals are dealt with, including various methods of corrosion resistance testing.

Content

Content: Electrochemistry and assessment of corrosion rates. Various corrosion types as general, crevice, pitting, stress and corrosion fatigue included H2S and CO2 corrosion are discussed and explained. Use of inhibitors, and selection of alloys to avoid corrosion is discussed. Different ways of corrosion testing of alloys are explained.

Learning outcome

After having completed the course, the student shall obtain knowledge within:

- Various forms of corrosion

- How the various forms of corrosion can be retarded or terminated

- How material selection can reduce the problem of corrosion
