FKD3270 Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Study - Theory and Practice 6.0 credits

Basic electrochemical concepts, potentials and currents, DC techniques (OCP, LPR, Tafel Polarization, PD, CPD and CV), EIS, Mott-Schottky plot.

The course includes introduction lectures, lab practice with instruments and software, and seminars by the PhD students who have used the techniques, and thorough discussions of different techniques by the students.

After successful completion of the course, the student should have sufficient knowledge to use common electrochemical techniques for corrosion research and able to interpret the results correctly.

Basic electrochemistry, some experience with the techniques.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• SEM1 - Seminars, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• UPP1 - Written report, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The examination will be based on the performance at the seminar (lecture and response to the questions).
