METL 2405 - Atmospheric Corrosion Control

4 Credits (3 hrs. lec., 3 hrs. lab.) An in-depth study of atmospheric corrosion control by coatings which includes surface preparation, coating selection, coating application, inspection, and failure analysis. Prerequisite: METL 1313 and METL 2441
Course Outcomes
1 - Identify the mechanisms utilized by coatings to control corrosion.
2 - Select appropriate coating materials for specific corrosion applications.
3 - Determine the appropriate surface preparation and application procedures required for common coating materials.
4 - Demonstrate the ability to operate, calibrate, and maintain coating inspection instruments.
5 - Recognize common coating failures and determine the causes.
