Electrochemical engineering

Introducing students to the mechanisms of various corrosion types of engineering materials in real conditions of application. Learning corrosion testing techniques and applying different methods of corrosion protection of materials.

The student can explain the occurrence and cause of corrosion as well as ways to slowing corrosion process by applying different methods of protection and their impact on the environment. Understands the factors that influence the choice of materials from the aspect of corrosion protection.
