Corrosion Engineering and Corrosion Resistant Alloys
Corrosion Engineering and Corrosion Resistant Alloys
About the course
Corrosion is a dangerous and costly material process which can lead to failure of metallic constructions. An understanding of which constructions, in which operating environment, are susceptible to corrosion is vital in any project involving metals and alloys.
This training course starts by introducing the participants to all of the common corrosion mechanisms including aqueous corrosion, high temperature corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, galvanic corrosion and pitting corrosion. Measuring corrosion rate in the field, due to it's often local nature, includes uncertainties and within this course the instructor will explain how to interpret these results in a pragmatic and safe way.
Stainless steels, nickel alloys and copper alloys are corrosion resistant, and here it will be explained why, with reference to the material micro-structures, why this is the case and under which circumstances each is corrosion resistant. The course concludes by looking at which laboratory tests are available for assessing corrosion resistance and giving participants an overview of the design guidelines for minimising corrosion.
The course consists of 2 days of live classroom sessions. A comprehensive, full colour training handbook is also provided on the course, which serves a reference document following completion of the training.
