“Materials in contact with aggressive environments undergo a form of chemical and physical decay which, as far as metallic materials in particular are concerned, is known as corrosion. Corrosion can be defined as an attack by atmospheric agents or other aggressive means on materials, especially metals, which leads to the slow but progressive alteration of the characteristics – often not only on the surface – of the material. An idea of the importance of corrosion in industrial activities can be obtained from its economic impact: in industrialized countries, the cost of corrosion is around 3-4% of gross domestic product.”
Gli studi relativi al settore della corrosione si concentrano sulla valutazione sia del comportamento a corrosione di materiali metallici in ambienti aggressivi, sia sull’effetto benefico di film di ossido diversamente prodotti per aumentare la resistenza a corrosione. Gli argomenti sono sviluppati in collaborazione con, e con il supporto di, PoliLaPP – Laboratorio di Corrosione del Materiali “Pietro Pedeferri”
