This course is intended as an introduction to the use of electrochemical techniques in corrosion applications.
Emphasis is placed on the proper utilization of modern instrumentation.
Techniques for the proper interpretation of data for use in corrosion prediction and prevention are emphasized. Examples where these methods have been successfully utilized are presented. The course is intended for corrosion practitioners with no formal electrochemical training and little or no experience in the utilization of electrochemical measurements. The course content will be at a level appropriate for those with a degree in engineering or the physical sciences. Lecturers Robert G. Kelly is an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and the Assistant Director of the Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia.
