Torsdag den 13. november 2003 kl. 19.00 holder professor Kemal Nisancioglu, NTNU foredrag om korrosion af aluminium. Mødet holdes på DTU, bygning 101, mødelokale 2 (opad trappen ved Polyteknisk Boghandel).

Kemal Nisancioglu’s hovedarbejdsområder inkluderer overfladeteknologi, korrosion og korrosionsbeskyttelse specielt for letmetaller. Desuden som vi ved tidligere foredrag har hørt i foreningen, med matematisk modellering og simulering af elektrokemiske systemer.

Aqueous Corrosion of Impure Aluminium

Kemal Nisancioglu, Department of Materials Technology

Norwegian University of Science and Technology

On impure aluminium and aluminium alloys corrosion depends on the surface microstructure, which in turn is determined by thermo mechanical and chemical processing of the material. The talk attempts to demonstrate the strong correlation between the surface microstructure and surface quality in general, with emphasis on new nanoscale characterization methods. Together with brief introduction to the basics of localized corrosion, pitting and the contemporary problem of filiform corrosion are discussed. Ways of controlling and exploiting the near surface chemistry and microstructure for engineering the surface for improved corrosion resistance and quality are further discussed.
