OSU Autumn Corrosion Course 2026
Corrosion: Fundamentals and Experimental Methods (Autumn 2026)
The course will cover the fundamentals of corrosion and various electrochemical techniques. Lectures and laboratories will be used to illustrate how electrochemical techniques are applied, when they should be used, and how the various techniques can be integrated to solve complex problems. The course will be useful for people entering the corrosion field and for professionals looking for a refresher course.
By the end of this course, you will be equipped to:
-
Analyze Mechanisms: Decipher the electrochemical and thermodynamic drivers behind metallic degradation.
-
Diagnose Profiles: Identify various corrosion forms—from uniform attack to localized pitting—and pinpoint root causes.
-
Engineer Mitigation: Evaluate and implement protective measures, including coatings, inhibitors, and cathodic protection.
-
Execute Measurements: Set up and interpret electrochemical tests to quantify corrosion rates and predict material lifespan.
