The Civil industry, like many other engineering industries, has been plagued with corrosion degradation problems. In 2016, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers estimated US$2.5 trillion, which is about 3.4% of the global Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as the annual global cost of corrosion. In Canada, the annual estimated direct corrosion cost of corrosion across all sectors is US$46.4 billion, about 2.5% of Canada's GDP. Therefore, we need to establish cost-effective control strategies underpinned by a sound fundamental understanding of corrosion mechanisms on different metal alloys to reduce the enormous cost of corrosion and aid the sustainable development of new structures. Students will be exposed to corrosion problems in different engineering sectors. We will look at electrochemical reactions; mechanisms and kinetics/rates of corrosion; modes of corrosive attack including stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement; corrosion mitigation and prevention through proper materials selection, design, cathodic and anodic protection, and coatings to increase the structure's service life; and overall discussion on technologically important material-environment combinations.
