Corrosion Laboratory
Aim:
Corrosion, which leads to corruption of metals by electrochemical reactions, is an important factor that controls the design and maintenance of the facilities and equipment. Losses of about 4.5% of the gross national revenue are corrosion based and there is a need to be informed, conduct research and take precautions. The Corrosion Laboratory was founded for to give more information on the subject for research conducted at the undergraduate and graduate level. In addition, solving corrosion problems of industry and carrying out educational projects are also main reasons for founding the laboratory. .
