Facilities: Metallurgical and Corrosion Laboratory
Although the department dropped its metallurgy laboratory several years
ago, this laboratory is still being upgraded for corrosion and materials
research, and it is used for demonstrations in the Materials Science course
(CHEE 317) and the Corrosion Engineering course (CHEE 402) and the new
Advanced Materials course (CHEE 427). The laboratory is located in Madison
212 and has 960 sq. ft of available area.
The laboratory contains grinding and polishing equipment. It also has
microscopes and a metallograph. The metal hardness can be determined with a
Rockwell or Microhardness tester. There are 2-portable electrochemical
solution units that allow for demonstration of various corrosion tests such
as Tafel plots, linear polarization, AC Impedance, and Harmonic Impedance.
No additional equipment has been added to this laboratory since the last
visit. |
