Contenu(s)

*Courses and tutorial
*#What is corrosion, high temperature corrosion vs. wet corrosion
*#Thermodynamic fundamentals (Ellingham diagrams, Two oxidant systems)
*#Mechanisms of high temperature oxidation(Transport mechanism,Rate of oxidation)
*#Oxidation of pure metals(Single scale layer system Ni/NiO, Multiple scale layer system Fe/FeO/Fe3O4/Fe2O3)
*#Oxidation of alloys (Selective oxidation, Internal oxidation,Stress generation / Response to stress)
*#Case study: oxidation of Zirconium alloys
*#Wet corrosion

*Labs
This lab is common with the lab of fracture mechanics. Students are working on the LOCA with Zr4 alloy samples. They are studying the oxidation kinetics at various temperature and time (using Weight analysis, SEM and optical microscope) and the subsequent mechanical properties after oxidation using bending and ring compression tests. They have to compare their results to published data
