Study MME 405 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about Corrosion Science and Engineering, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
explain the basic concept of corrosion and socio-economic implication
describe the fundamental causes of corrosion problem and failures
explain the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions in corrosion of metals and alloys
describe the various forms of corrosion (from uniform to localised to stress corrosion phenomena)
use Pourbaix and Evans diagrams as tools to predict corrosion
discuss corrosion rate measurements using weight loss method and other methods;
discuss the protection systems used to combat corrosion, including inhibitors, coatings and cathodic protection.
Course contents
The course is aimed at investigating the underlying fundamental causes of corrosion problems and failures. Emphasis is placed on the electrochemical reactions occurring and the tools and knowledge necessary for predicting corrosion, measuring corrosion rates, and combining these with prevention and materials selection.
