Summary

This subject contains study and evaluation of corrosion properties of metal materials and products, including their corrosion protection. In this subject are lectured and trained the basic knowledge of electrochemical corrosion - the conditions, reactions and main types of corrosion. The lectures contain: the information on economical loses and ecological problems of metal corrosion, determination and calculation of corrosion rates, galvanic metal layers, thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical corrosion at elevated temperatures, localized corrosion types (pitting, crevice, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue). The corrosion protection methods are introduced: material design, coatings and layers, solution treatment, cathodic protection and convenient construction design. The subject also includes the standard exposition and electrochemical corrosion tests of metals and coating, as well as testing and monitoring of metallic materials in the service and/or natural conditions, especially in atmospheric environment. Examples of corrosion failure cases in service are completed, including their and analysis and solutions.
