Intended learning outcomes
- To introduce the corrosion phenomena and the associated costs: according to the last estimates, the annual cost of corrosion ranges from 3% to 5% of the GNP and it can be significantly reduced by educational training.
- To present the principles of corrosion, its different forms and the ways to prevent it
- To introduce the fundamental concepts on lubricants (mineral oils, synthetic oils and greases), their properties and composition.
With this course, it is intended that the students acquire the necessary skills to recognize failures associate with to corrosion degradation and to prescribe measures to avoid them, increasing the life cycle of equipment. Also, it is expected that the students get to know the basic information on various lubricants and their specific properties.
