This introductory is designed for engineers who want to understand how and why corrosion happens in the water industry.
It provides practical knowledge explaining in detail corrosion mechanisms, covering general corrosion and localised corrosion mechanisms such as those produced by galvanic corrosion, pitting, crevice corrosion, under deposit corrosion, etc.
Specific corrosion issues affecting cast irons, steels and stainless steels are explored. The synergistic effects of corrosion occurring in conjunction with wear processes, such as velocity-assisted corrosion, erosion and corrosion cracking mechanisms, including metal fatigue interactions, are also explained.
Case study examples are used throughout the course to facilitate understanding of corrosion in complex, real-life situations and to promote delegate engagement and discussion.
Course programme:
- Introduction.
- Corrosion – what is it and why does it occur?
- Corrosion mechanisms: general corrosion.
- Corrosion mechanisms: localised corrosion - galvanic corrosion, pitting, crevice, under deposit corrosion, graphitization, etc.
- Corrosion and mechanical and thermal stress interactions: stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion fatigue.
- Corrosion of cast irons and carbon steels.
- Corrosion of stainless steels.
- Velocity assisted corrosion.
- Erosion.
- Synergistic effects: corrosion and wear interactions.
- Close.
The course will be delivered virtually using MS Teams and will conclude at 5pm.
