Who Should Attend
This course is intended for engineers and scientists, from a wide variety of industries, who seek a basic understanding of corrosion phenomena and familiarity with the methods used in corrosion control and its prevention. In view of its comprehensive nature and the effective integration of corrosion engineering, the course should benefit project and process engineers, plant designers, maintenance and plant engineers, and those in management who must make the decisions concerning the reduction of corrosion problems. The course should also be of interest to materials engineers and researchers who require a familiarity with corrosion science and corrosion engineering that is outside the area of their present activities, as well as representatives of governmental agencies concerned with utilization and performance of materials in various applications.
Description
Corrosion resistance of materials is frequently a decisive factor in the development of advanced technology as encountered in power generation, energy conversion, environmental protection techniques, and numerous industrial processes operating under severe corrosive environments. The general aim of this course is to provide a basic understanding of corrosion mechanisms and the methods used in corrosion control and prevention. To convey this in a proper perspective, the entire course offers a unified treatment of corrosion fundamentals with the practice of corrosion engineering. In-depth coverage of electrochemical principles of metallic corrosion, discussions of various corrosion mechanisms, methods of corrosion control, high-temperature corrosion, degradation of polymers and ceramics, and the selection of metallic, organic and ceramic materials is reviewed. Each section of the course includes industrial applications of the subject material using case studies of practical engineering problems. Discussion of engineering problems, along with corrosion science principles, results in an integrated approach to providing solutions to corrosion engineering problems from a wide variety of industries.
