B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

1. Course Description

This course is designed to present the basic definition and concepts of corrosion, types of corrosion and direct and indirect cost of corrosion. This course also aims to list and identify the various types of corrosion cells. This course also targets to apply different methods of corrosion rate measurement. The course delivers the fundamental knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics of corrosion and highlights the main methods of corrosion prevention.

2. Course Main Objective

The main objective of the course is to develop essential and profound knowledge of the theory of corrosion of materials in various environments. This course also aims to present the main techniques for measurement of corrosion rate. and to demonstrate the principles and applications of the various methods of the corrosion prevention
