Electrochemical engineering

Applied theoretical knowledge of electrolysis apply to the technology of surface protection of metals. In addition to the application of metal coatings, study the processes of electroforming, autocatalytic deposition and anodic oxidation of metals with emphais to quality control and environmental protection.

The student knows the technology of metal surface preparation and recognize the basic types of metal coatings. By applying the acquired theoretical foundations and experience at the pilot plant, the student can independently perform surface protection of metals and quality control of the obtained metal coatings.
