Description

This course provides Basic concepts of Corrosion: mechanism of chemical, electrochemical corrosion – Pilling Bed worth rule – Types of Electrochemical corrosion - galvanic corrosion - differential aeration corrosion - pitting corrosion - stress corrosion – Measurement of corrosion (wt. loss method only) - factors influencing corrosion - the Cathodic protection - sacrificial anodic method – corrosion inhibitors. Protective coatings: surface preparation for metallic coatings - electroplating (copper plating) and electroless plating (Nickel plating) – chemical conversion coatings - anodizing, phosphating & chromate coating.
