Corrosion Protection for Sustainable Infrastructure

MATS66502 Corrosion Protection for Sustainable Infrastructure 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Xiaorong Zhou Unit coordinator Department of Materials 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 This unit provides you with an understanding of the key corrosion processes and mechanisms of prevention or mitigation for the Process and Power industries as well as energy sytems, covering topics such as high temperature corrosion and moving on to environmentally induced cracking and localised corrosion. The unit shows you how these modes of degradation can be encountered in industrial plant environments and inform the best industrial practice for their prediction, mitigation and ideally prevention by design. The corrosion risks for combinations of engineering materials and complex environments including humid air, steam, hot water, acids, and alkalis are presented and discussed. The cross cutting themes are the mechanistic understanding of the processes involved and the prediction of corrosion risks in the different environments, the use of design and materials selection to minimise the probability of corrosion failures, and to encourage an appreciation of the strengths and limitations of the different corrosion control strategies available.A final set of lectures considers how materials corrosion data is used by engineers from other disciplines, and shows how information from corrosion engineers is used in Failure Assessment Diagrams, where both structural engineering concepts and information on rates of degradation of structures can be integrated to provide robust techniques to assess the integrity and lifetime of industrial plants and equipment.

The unit aims to:<ul> <li>To enable you to understand the corrosion challenges faced by the Process and Power Industries.</li> <li>To enable you to understand how materials selection and the design and use of countermeasures to mitigate corrosion are commonly used in industry and energy sectors.</li> <li>To ensure you understand the specific corrosion challenges in cooling and steam raising equipment</li> <li>To enable you to use the R6 Failure Assessment Diagram framework to integrate data of corrosion risks with mechanical and structural design and assessment methods.</li></ul> A greater depth of the learning outcomes will be covered in the following sections: <ul> <li> Knowledge and understanding</li> <li> Intellectual skills</li> <li> Practical skills</li> <li> Transferable skills and personal qualities</li> </ul> <ul></ul>High Temerature <ul> <li>Describe corrosion processes in high temperature industrial environments such as fossil fuel power plant.</li></ul>SCC<ul> <li>Understand the most common types of stress corrosion cracking, the effects of stress, metallurgy and environment on SCC rates and occurrence.</li></ul>Localised Corrosion<ul> <li>Quantify the relationship between pitting and crevice corrosion, and relate this to the effects of deposits</li></ul> <ul> <li> Understand both general and localised corrosion/damage processes and the reasons for these occurring.</li></ul> <ul> <li> Understand the method to set up and monitor a localised corrosion experiment.</li></ul> The summative exercises include teamwork exercises to develop students experience of collaborative working in a virtual leaning environment as well as digital platforms. <div>The course is delivered either via face to face lectures or by online modules. This material was originally developed as an online version of the course, but now serves as a parallel resource for revision, with tests and other activities students may use.There will be a formative online quiz for practise in the third week of teaching, followed by an assessed quiz activity after the fourth week of teaching. The final assessed coursework is a lab exercise, to examine Pitting Corrosion. This will be a group report.</div>  1 Written exam 70% 2 Written assignment (inc essay) 30% Written and verbal N <div>General texts are listed in the reading list for unit MATS63351. More specialist topics are covered in this unit, but many of these works are also useful for this unit.</div>Electrocorrosion and Protection of Metals General approach with particular consideration to electrochemical plantsJoseph RiskinBurlington : Elsevier Science 2008Online access available  Corrosion and Chemical Resistant Masonry Materials HandbookWilliam Andrew Publishing/Noyes 1986Online access available  Understanding how components fail / Donald J.
