Ms. Flavia Leitao, Assistant Professor of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) Department and Member Secretary of R&D cell, DBCE introduced and welcomed the speaker.
Dr. Hyam started with the Introduction to Corrosion, its different types like Galvanic Corrosion, Pitting corrosion, Crevice corrosion, Filiform corrosion, etc. to name a few, highlighting the importance of Corrosion study in each case. He further explained the parameters affecting corrosion like Temperature, Aeration, Agitation, Nature of the metal, Nature of the environment, etc, and the ways to study corrosion.
In his lecture, he also enlightened the students on the different methods used to avoid or minimize corrosion such as Coatings of various types, Electro deposition, Flame Spraying, Cladding, Hot dipping, Ion Implantation, Laser Glazing, etc. He concluded by screening his different research papers and the ongoing work in his lab related to the subject.
The talk was attended by second year Civil Engineering and second year ECS students.
Dr. Shwetha P., Chairperson of R&D Cell, DBCE, was the overall in-charge of the Vidnyan Dhara Program at DBCE.
