FKD3270 Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Study - Theory and Practice 6.0 credits
Information for research students about course offerings
This course will be given when there are more than 6 participants (PhD student), usually every second year. Probably 2021/2022.
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
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.
Intended learning outcomes
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.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Basic electrochemistry, some experience with the techniques.
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Chosen chapters from relevant books.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
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).
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
