This virtual seminar aims to provide participants with a short introduction to corrosion science. Corrosion as a chemical process will be introduced very simply, initially considering dry corrosion (better known as oxidation), then quickly moving on to wet (or “electrochemical”) corrosion of metals.
Theoretical aspects will be illustrated by reference to a number of corrosion case studies, some of which are taken from engineering contexts, others which are readily encountered in everyday life.
Adam Wojcik is Associate Professor in Materials Science at UCL Mechanical Engineering, London. In addition to his science and engineering background, Adam also has undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in archaeology and classics
There will be a 55 minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of discussion.
