Due to their redox and mechanical properties, metallic materials are used in many industrial systems. Their study is currently a major issue (lifespan of alloys, electric cars, portable computing, etc.).
- Being able to predict the corrosion/protection of a metal in an oxygenated aqueous environment.
- Knowing how to measure and calculate a corrosion rate.
- Knowing how to implement anticorrosion strategies.
- Understanding the different devices for storing electrical energy.
- Being able to describe metals, metal oxides, and metal hydroxides from a crystallographic perspective.
- Being able to analyze a simple X-ray diffraction spectrum.
