Corrosion Science: Why Steel Goes Home

Deep End Era. Engineering with Sankalp · Oct 10, 2026 · 55m

Corrosion is an electrochemical process that becomes an integrity problem over years of operation. Begin with the small batteries that form on wet steel, then connect Faraday's law, polarization measurements and potential diagrams to practical assessment. Materials selection, corrosion allowance and monitoring turn those ideas into engineering decisions. The episode also examines data and digital models, asking how an integrity team can distinguish a useful signal from a reassuring dashboard.
