Corrosion Lecture 1: Introduction

This is lecture 1 of 8 from my undergraduate Corrosion lecture course for Chemical Engineers. Pdf notes are available for download (link below). Thermodynamics, kinetics, real-world processes and corrosion protection are introduced.

PDF versions of the written lecture notes (handouts) can be obtained here: https://github.com/quantitativeimagin...
