Course Overview

This course is given as an introduction to the use of electrochemical techniques in corrosion applications. Emphasis is placed on the use of modern instruments to acquire pertinent data. Participants will have the opportunity to operate state-of-the-art instruments in laboratory sessions designed to complement the lecture material Techniques for proper interpretation of data for use in corrosion pre- diction and prevention are emphasized. Examples where these methods have been successfully utilized are presented
