Electrochemical Processing of Materials

3 credits · Graduate

The course discusses principles of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering as they apply to the design of processes for the production of materials. The theory and application of various electrochemical techniques such as electroplating, electroforming, electromachining, electrorefining, and fused-salt electrolysis are included. A brief overview on the development of electrochemical sensors and devices using solid state electrolytes is presented. Surface modification by electrochemical means is also discussed.
