The cost of industrial corrosion is estimated to be more than $2 trillion per year globally (NACE study). There have also been several major failures and industrial incidents within the Refining, Chemical & Power Generation sectors. It is important that key staff working within these industries have a fundamental appreciation of corrosion types: their threats, diagnosis, and mitigation.
This self-paced course will introduce students to the material degradation, corrosion, and cracking mechanisms found within the refining, chemical, and power-generation sectors. The course breaks these mechanism types down into 8 main modules. Each of these modules explains the scientific principles involved and shows real-world examples. Industrial safety incident videos are also presented and the lessons to be learned from each of these are discussed by the instructor.
This introductory course to corrosion contains 8 online modules, which in total are 13 hours of video content. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
After the course, you have unlimited access to the course for 1-year, including any new course material. This allows you to perform modules again should you need to refresh your knowledge for your projects.
