MEng Materials Science and Engineering with Metallurgy

This unit provides students with an understanding of the key corrosion processes and mechanisms of preventing these for the Process and Power industries, covering topics such as high temperature corrosion and moving on to environmentally induced cracking and localised corrosion. 

To enable to students to understand the corrosion challenges faced by the Process and Power Industries.

• To enable students to understand how materials selection and the design and use of countermeasures to combat corrosion are commonly used in industry.
• To ensure students understand the specific corrosion challenges in cooling and steam raising equipment
• To enable students to use the R6 Failure Assessment Diagram framework to integrate data on corrosion risks with mechanical and structural design and assessment methods.

A greater depth of the learning outcomes will be covered in the following sections:

• Knowledge and understanding
• Intellectual skills
• Practical skills
• Transferable skills and personal qualities

High Temperature

• Describe corrosion processes in high temperature industrial environments such as fossil fuel power plant.

SCC

• Understand the most common types of stress corrosion cracking, the effects of stress, metallurgy and environment on SCC rates and occurrence.

Localised Corrosion

• Quantify the relationship between pitting and crevice corrosion, and relate this to the effects of deposits

• Understand both general and localised corrosion/damage processes and the reasons for these occurring.

• Understand the method to set up and monitor a localised corrosion experiment.

The summative exercises include teamwork exercises to develop students experience of collaborative working in a virtual leaning environment as well as digital platforms.
