Aim (purpose) and reasoning (problem statement) for the testing work undertaken
Experimental write up (What did you do? How? Why?)
Discussion on the impact of corrosion on the mechanical properties of common
structural steels (Make reference to your results! Also link to what is happening at a
microstructural level to the material.)
Discussion of the impact of possible techniques to slow corrosion and hence their
impact on extending a real-word structure’s life (How does your lab work relate to
the real-world?)
Discussion on the effectiveness of corrosion monitoring techniques (What are the
errors? How could the techniques be improved? Can they be used in the real
world?)
Discussion of some alternative materials and/or processing (production) methods
that may have helped resist corrosion (But would these have a positive or negative
impact if building an entire structure, beyond their corrosion resistance? Can these
be used sustainably? Cost-effectively?)
Discussion of the role of industry codes and standards to the engineering around
corrosion in structures.
