Objectives

• Deepen the concepts already covered in M1
• Know the different types of corrosion: coupling mechanical environmental corrosion (intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion, hydrogen embrittlement), corrosion by hot gases
• Know the different types of surface treatments (coatings, treatments by conversion, diffusion, structural transformation)
• Deepen the techniques for studying corrosion: impedance spectroscopy, materials characterization techniques
• Know how to combine environment, materials and protection solutions

Happy
