Basic knowledge on corrosion processes and their effects on the behaviour of metallic materials in their application. The limits of materials and the possibilities of corrosion protection are demonstrated.

The various modes of corrosion of metallic materials in various media are discussed. The chemical and physical basics of corrosion processes are presented and the resulting effects are demonstrated by numerous case histories of corrosion failures. Countermeasures and corrosion protection in general are discussed.

There are 1 day lab excercises and 1/2 day workshop, protocols must be prepared for each. These activities are obligatory, participation and correct protocols are prerequisites for the examination.

Examination is in writing and oral.

The date of examination will be fixed by end of the course.

Registration for the course at the 1st lecture.
