About this Unit

This unit explains the gradual degradation of engineering materials in various environments. In particular, the fundamentals of electrochemistry will be introduced to explain corrosion processes of metallic materials. Application of electrochemical techniques to monitor and quantify corrosion of metallic materials. Various corrosive environments such as in oil and gas exploration and production, offshore windfarms, etc. will be discussed. Industry standards related to material selection and corrosion control strategies will be introduced.
