A masterclass of four full time days: 16-19 June 2015
The electrochemistry course is an introduction on the use of electrochemical techniques in conservation. It will go from corrosion aspects of metals, through the monitoring of electrochemical parameters to the actual use of these parameters to conserve electrolytically metal artefacts or composite artefacts that contain metals to conserve.

The main contents of the course will be:
1. Introduction to electrochemistry applied to conservation
2. Main parameters to control electrochemical processes that are accessible to
conservation professionals and factors affecting them
3. Electrolytic techniques applied in conservation: determination of parameters
4. Application to case studies: cleaning of silver tarnish, consolidative
reduction of active lead, cleaning and stabilisation of marine or archaeological
copper and iron artefacts, stabilisation of aluminium objects.
