Corrosion and Corrosion Protection
In the "Corrosion and corrosion protection" focus area, we offer exciting thesis topics relating to the corrosion behavior of metallic materials. We are currently focusing in particular on shape memory alloys and additively manufactured materials. We use classic electrochemical methods such as the determination of current density-potential curves or the measurement of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In addition, we also have the opportunity to carry out investigations into stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue under bending stress using special test benches.
