Corrosion, protection and durability of materials division
Corrosion of materials in industrial environments is a major factor limiting their lifetime. It affects many structures, especially those made of metal, which causes many replacement costs and lost productivity, and sometimes results in catastrophic damage (human damage, environmental pollution , etc. . ) .
The cost of corrosion, which covers all means of struggle, replacement of parts or structures corroded and the direct and indirect consequences of accidents due to corrosion is estimated at 2% of national product. About these costs could be avoided if prevention technologies of existing corrosion were properly implemented. Corrosion of infrastructure is an ongoing problem . In order to prevent or minimize corrosion the Division of Corrosion is charged to implement the necessary research programs to the development of the techniques related to corrosion process and anti-corrosion by the active and passive methods.
It aims to:
  • Study and master the phenomena and the mechanisms of corrosion in materials;
  • Master the techniques of simulation of corrosion processes and their validation practices;
  • Control and develop the anti-corrosion protection processes;
  • Control and optimize the active protections systems against corrosion.
