After attending this course delegates should be able to cost effectively prevent corrosion at the design stage by application of the knowledge gained. Suitable for: The course is aimed at engineers of all disciplines including trainees, consultants, architects and educators. The course will be of particular value to those who are suppliers of metals and alloys, and to manufacturers of corrosion resisting materials such as paint and zinc. It will also be of value to those involved in service industries (electrical, gas and sewerage) and construction, mining, marine and especially galvanisers.

Course programme

A two day course aimed at practicing engineers and designers interested in the prevention of corrosion by selection of appropriate materials and coatings. The basic theory of corrosion is presented in an easy to understand manner. Marine, building, automotive, and chemical sectors are used to illustrate the application of corrosion resisting materials. Coatings, anodic and cathodic protection are examined in detail. Interesting case studies are presented to demonstrate typical problems and solutions.

Corrosion in industrialised nations costs vast amounts of money every year. Typically 3.5 to 5.0% of the GNP. Existing corrosion prevention technology, correctly implemented can reduce these costs by up to two thirds.

Day 1 (08.45-09.00hrs Registration. 17.00hrs Finish.)

  • Welcome and Introductions.
  • Basic principles of corrosion of metals.
  • Different forms of corrosion.
  • Electrochemical aspects of corrosion testing.
  • Consequences of corrosion and corrosion control.
  • Methods of predicting corrosion rates.
  • The use of ISO specifications for assessing atmospheric corrosion rates.
  • Practical information on zinc and aluminium coatings on steel.
  • Costing exercise of paint and duplex systems.

Day 2 (08.45-09.00hrs Registration. 17.00hrs Finish.)

  • Cathodic and anodic protection.
  • Inorganic coatings.
  • Hot dip galvanising and other zinc coatings.
  • Corrosion resisting alloys.
  • Corrosion problems in the building and automobile industries. Case study.
  • Modifying design and the environment to control corrosion. Case study.
  • Coatings of fasteners. Selection considerations. Case study.
  • Automotive prevention of corrosion. Coatings, problems in manufacture, service behaviour. Case study.
  • Role of metallography in corrosion technology. Optical and scanning electron microscopy. Real cases.
