This focused digital short course delivers fundamental knowledge of corrosion prevention principles and techniques. The course teaches the basic principles of corrosion prevention, including corrosion-control design considerations, material selection processes, and protective methods such as coatings, inhibitors, and cathodic protection. Detailed illustrations, narration, and knowledge assessments support learning throughout the course.
This focused digital short course delivers fundamental knowledge of corrosion prevention principles and techniques. Corrosion occurs in all industries from automotive and aerospace to infrastructure, construction, petroleum, power, paper making, food processing, bioengineering, and pharmaceuticals. Where a corrosion failure has occurred, economical and practicable measures for prevention of future failures of the same type are required.
The course teaches the basic principles of corrosion prevention, including corrosion-control design considerations, material selection processes, and protective methods such as coatings, inhibitors, and cathodic protection. Detailed illustrations, narration, and knowledge assessments support learning throughout the course.
Who Should Enroll:
This is an ideal first short course for anyone who needs a working understanding of the basic principles of corrosion prevention. It has been designed for those with no previous training in corrosion prevention, such as:
Technical, laboratory, and sales personnel
Engineers from other disciplines
Management and administrative staff
Non-technical support staff such as purchasing and receiving agents
Course Learning Objectives:
Explain the general considerations in corrosion-control design
Describe the design details that accelerate corrosion and design solutions for specific forms of corrosion
List the material considerations and different elements of the materials selection process
Explain how coatings and inhibitors prevent corrosion
Describe cathodic and anodic protection-mechanisms of action
Continuing Education Units: PDH 2.0/CEU 0.2
This course provides an overview of different corrosion prevention techniques.
Introduction
Design Factors Designing and planning for maintenance and repair of corrosion is an essential consideration in all industries. Design is an integral part of the process. A better understanding of the design features that accelerate corrosion and the solutions to combat different forms of corrosion is key to controlling corrosion.
Materials Selection Corrosion resistance is not the only property to be considered in making materials selections, but it is of major importance in many industries. A thorough knowledge of material considerations and elements of the material selection process will help select the material to prevent or minimize corrosion.
Protective Coatings and Inhibitors Coatings are the most commonly used method for combating corrosion. Coatings and linings may protect substrates by three basic mechanisms: barrier protection, chemical inhibition, and galvanic (sacrificial) protection.
Cathodic and Anodic Protection Cathodic and anodic protection involve modification of a metal’s potential. Insights gained from this lesson will help you understand how cathodic and anodic protection works and the applications of cathodic and anodic protection.
