Material and corrosions engineering

The course provides a comprehensive study of materials degradation and corrosion in industrial heating and power systems (such as fossil-fired boilers and oil/coal-fired furnaces). It addresses the fundamental mechanisms of high-temperature corrosion, material selection, and integrity management, drawing on state-of-the-art corrosion technology to deal with aging and life extension issues.
