Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach students the fundamental principles of corrosion and provide them with theoretical knowledge on this phenomenon. The course comprehensively examines the chemical and electrochemical foundations of corrosion, different types of corrosion, factors affecting corrosion rates, and methods used for corrosion prevention or control. Additionally, it aims to equip students with the competence to identify, analyze, and solve practical corrosion-related problems encountered in industrial and engineering applications.
