Corrosion accounts for billions of dollars in losses to a variety of
metallic structures and products annually. This seminar provides
insight into corrosion, its underlying causes, and potential solutions,
topics which are important to all engineers involved with the design
and specification of metal components and structures.
Elementary concepts related to the more common types of corrosion
will be reviewed, as well as the various methods available for
minimizing corrosion in metals. This course will conclude by examining
at least two corrosion case histories of interest to engineers involved in
transportation vehicle design.
Types of corrosion to be described in this seminar include galvanic
corrosion (dissimilar metals), concentration cell corrosion, crevice
corrosion, stress corrosion, and corrosion-assisted fatigue. In addition,
“uniform” corrosion will be discussed as it applies to such common
occurrences as the general rusting of steel. Methods of corrosion
protection include cathodic protection from sacrificial anodes and
impressed DC voltage, anodic protection, inhibitors, and coatings. The
effectiveness and limitations of these techniques will be discussed.
