    Corrosion has a large impact on the human society: The cost directly or indirectly linked to it is evaluated from 2% to 4% of the gross domestic product of an industrial country. Studying and understanding the corrosion mechanisms is a key point to propose solution to mitigate the degradation or to select the most appropriate protection.

    Electrochemical techniques appeared to be a powerful tool to investigate and assess material degradation. This webinar will present some of the electrochemical techniques commonly used for corrosion studies.

    CONTENT

    • Introduction. What is corrosion?
    • Remaining of basic concepts in electrochemistry.
    • The open circuit potential.
    • Potentiodynamic curves.
    • Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
    • Electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM).
    • Local electrochemical techniques.

    TARGET AUDIENCE

    • Component manufacturers.
    • Oil & Gas industry.
    • Chemical and Petrochemical Industry.
    • Component and equipment manufacturers for the energy sector, especially those that have to be exposed to outdoor conditions or harsh environments (offshore for instance).
    • Construction product manufacturers.
    • Any company manufacturing materials, components or metallic structures that have to be exposed to outdoor weather, underwater or on the ground.

    LECTURER

    • Jean Baptiste Jorcin, Researcher of Materials for Harsh Environments, in the Energy and Environment Area.
