NCMR1102 – Basic Corrosion: An Introduction to thermodynamics and Kinetic Fundamentals
June 10, 2019 @ 8:00 am - June 14, 2019 @ 5:00 pm
Description
Corrosion is the natural deterioration that occurs with all materials because of a reaction of the material with its environment. This degradation process affects the assets of nearly every industrial sector and government agency and has direct impact on the economy, health, safety, infrastructure, environment and national security. The demand for corrosion professionals has exceeded the supply provided by existing centers and programs. To help meet this demand, the National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Center offers a basic corrosion course introducing professionals to the thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals of corrosion and the multiscale level materials performance for corrosion engineering applications. Participants gain an in-depth understanding of the aqueous electrochemical (interfacial) mechanisms—as well as the environmental effects—when materials are exposed to different corrosive conditions.
Section Description
Through a combination of lecture and laboratory learning, participants who complete the course will have knowledge
of corrosion principles and degradation due to interaction with corrosive media and be able to use the modern
engineering tools necessary for understanding basic principles in materials electrochemistry and corrosion.
