This digital short course provides essential knowledge for identifying, preventing, and predicting corrosion in metals and alloys. Most environments are corrosive to metals and alloys, but susceptibility varies from metal to metal, alloy to alloy, and environment to environment. Corrosion problems can be costly, dangerous, wasteful, and unsightly, making understanding of corrosion fundamentals critical for material performance under various service conditions.
The course explores the major corrosion processes observed across all industries and examines real-world corrosion case studies from different industrial applications. Content features detailed illustrations, narrated explanations of corrosion mechanisms, demonstration videos, and interactive quizzes.
