   Introduction to Corrosion Science and Engineering — Course Wrap-Up

   Full courses here: https://corrozone.com/courses#udemy A big-picture recap of the whole Introduction to Corrosion Science and Engineering course — how the four sections fit together, from why metals corrode, through the electrochemical principles and the forms of corrosion, to how we protect against them. What this episode covers A whole-course recap of the four sections of Introduction to Corrosion Science and Engineering: Section 1 — Corrosion Fundamentals: why corrosion occurs, forms of localised corrosion, and the electrochemical nature of aqueous corrosion. Section 2 — Electrochemical Principles & Corrosion Kinetics: Faraday's law, reference-electrode potentials, the Nernst equation, Pourbaix / current–potential / Evans diagrams, and rate-limiting effects. Section 3 — Forms of Aqueous Corrosion: general, galvanic, crevice and pitting corrosion. Section 4 — Corrosion Prevention & Protection Systems: cathodic protection, inhibitors, and organic/inorganic coatings. Who this is for Anyone beginning their study of corrosion — students, engineers, and technical staff who want a solid foundation in why metals corrode and what can be done about it. No prior background assumed.

   25 · Course Wrap-Up: Selecting Corrosion Control Strategies in Practice

   Full courses here: https://corrozone.com/courses#udemy Bringing the course together into practice: a structured framework for selecting corrosion control that integrates thermodynamics, kinetics and corrosion-form identification, the six principal strategies and where each fits, the cost / reliability / maintenance / environmental trade-offs, the coating–CP synergy, and pointers to advanced topics for further study. What you'll learn Articulate a structured decision framework for selecting corrosion control strategies, integrating thermodynamics, kinetics, and corrosion form identification Describe the six principal corrosion control strategies (material selection, design, coatings, CP, inhibitors, environmental control) and their primary applications Evaluate trade-offs between protection methods across the criteria of cost, reliability, maintenance, and environmental impact Explain how coatings and cathodic protection interact synergistically on buried and immersed structures Identify the conditions under which each protection strategy is most appropriate Recognise the scope of advanced corrosion topics beyond this course and identify pathways for further study Who this is for Anyone beginning their study of corrosion — students, engineers, and technical staff who want a solid foundation in why metals corrode and what can be done about it. No prior background assumed.

   24 · Inorganic Coatings

   Full courses here: https://corrozone.com/courses#udemy Inorganic coatings across the metallic, conversion, anodic-oxide and ceramic families: hot-dip galvanising and its layered microstructure, anodic versus cathodic coatings at a defect, the barrier / sacrificial / inhibition mechanisms, atmospheric-corrosivity selection, electroplating versus galvanising, chromate alternatives under REACH/RoHS, and multilayer system design. What you'll learn Explain the classification of inorganic coatings into metallic, conversion, anodic oxide, and ceramic families Describe the hot-dip galvanising process, including preparation steps and the layered microstructure (Γ, δ, ζ, η phases) Identify the key differences between anodic and cathodic metallic coatings and predict their behavior at coating defects Explain the three fundamental protective mechanisms: barrier action, sacrificial (cathodic) protection, and active inhibition Apply the galvanic series to select appropriate coatings for specific service environments (atmospheric corrosivity C1–CX) Compare the electroplating process to hot-dip galvanising and assess the performance and durability differences Analyze the relative merits and limitations of different conversion coating approaches (chromate, TCP, rare earth, silane) Evaluate the regulatory compliance implications of hexavalent chromium restrictions (REACH, RoHS) and alternatives Design multi-layer coating systems that combine inorganic coatings with cathodic protection or organic topcoats Assess the lifecycle costs and service-life trade-offs of different inorganic coating systems Who this is for Anyone beginning their study of corrosion — students, engineers, and technical staff who want a solid foundation in why metals corrode and what can be done about it. No prior background assumed.
