Corrosion: The Environmental Degradation of Materials (3.54J/22.72J)

See official MIT catalog listing for this course...

() key to symbols Prereq: 3.012
Units: 3-0-9

Applies thermodynamics and kinetics of electrode reactions to aqueous corrosion of metals and alloys. Application of advanced computational and modeling techniques to evaluation of materials selection and susceptibility of metal/alloy systems to environmental degradation in aqueous systems. Discusses materials degradation problems in marine environments, oil and gas production, and energy conversion and generation systems, including fossil and nuclear.
