Course Overview
The Corrosion - Part II course is a continuation of the course Corrosion Part-1 by Swayam. The course delves deeper into the phenomenon of corrosion, from different corrosion events to corrosion-based experiments. Another crucial aspect that this course focuses on is the mixed potential theory used in electrochemistry.
In addition, the Corrosion - Part II programme talks about the different methods of conversion, as well as methods of protection from corrosion. Students will get to learn about the oxidation of alloys and metals in detail. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates who are interested in Metallurgy and electrochemistry to learn about the subject of corrosion, free of cost.
Furthermore, the 8-week online Corrosion - Part II course allows the students to earn an E-certificate upon successful completion of the course. IIT-Kanpur and NPTEL will also accredit the certificate, so it will help improve your professional prospects in the future.
