CHE 4420 - Metallic Corrosion


The primary objective is to cover the fundamental aspects of metallic corrosion and its’ mitigation. Basic principles of corrosion including electrochemical foundation, influence of environment, stress, strain, and structure. Selected lab experiments.

Requisites: C or better in ET 2300
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will be able to articulate the similarities and differences in the various forms of corrosion.
  • Students will be able to construct and use Pourbaix (potential/pH) diagrams to predict stable phases of an aqueous electrochemical system.
  • Students will be able to construct and use Evans (mixed potential) diagrams to characterize the kinetics of electrochemical reactions.
  • Students will be to identify appropriate forms of corrosion prevention/mitigation to a given situation.
