Course programme

This one day course is designed to give a basic understanding of what corrosion in metals is, how it occurs and what can be done to minimise it. Attendees will be able to understand the impact of corrosion in the practical applications of metals in corrosive environments.

The consequences of the corrosion of metals in the United Kingdom cost 3.5% of the GNP and cause enormous disruption to business and commerce.

The aim of this course is to provide technology transfer on corrosion prevention at a level suitable for application by delegates from various industries and backgrounds.

  • Welcome and Introductions.
  • Corrosion-definition, costs, safety and environmental factors.
  • Chemistry of Corrosion in Metals-corrosion circuit, rate of corrosion and corrosion control.
  • Different forms of corrosion - general, galvanic, pitting, crevice, microbial, stress corrosion etc.
  • Corrosion resistant alloys-stainless steels, metals and
    alloys:Al,Cu,Ti,Ta,Ni.
  • Corrosion problems in industry-construction, chemical, reinforced concrete etc.
  • Corrosion prevention-paint coatings, metal coatings, inhibitors, humidity control etc.
  • Cathodic & anodic protection.

08.45-09.00hrs Registration. 17.00hrs Finish.
