|
1. Assessment of corrosion resistance of materials. General information on corrosion. General characteristics of assessment methods of corrosion resistance. Methodology of accelerated corrosion tests. Electrochemical methods of corrosion resistance assessment. Potentiometry method. Pourbaix diagrams. Corrosion behavior of nanostructured materials.
|
|
2. Bases of thermal methods of analysis. Thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetric. Interpretation of thermograms. Thermal characteristics of processes of melting, decomposition, formation of binary and complex compounds. Use of thermal analysis for determination of thermodynamic properties of substances. Dilatometric method of testing. Determination of the linear expansion coefficient. Study of phase transformations. Thermal behavior of nanostructured materials.
