Corrosion for Non Corrosion Engineers

This course provides a practical introduction to the fundamentals of corrosion for engineers and professionals who do not specialize in corrosion engineering. It explains the basic principles of corrosion, its causes, mechanisms, and impact on engineering materials and equipment. Participants will learn how environmental, chemical, mechanical, and operational conditions contribute to corrosion. The course covers common types of corrosion such as uniform, galvanic, pitting, crevice, erosion, and stress corrosion. It introduces material selection and corrosion-resistant materials used in industrial applications. Participants will understand basic methods for corrosion prevention, control, monitoring, and inspection. The course also discusses coatings, inhibitors, cathodic protection, and other corrosion control techniques. Practical examples from industries such as Oil & Gas, chemical, power, manufacturing, and infrastructure are included. The course helps participants recognize potential corrosion risks during design, operation, maintenance, and inspection activities. By completing the course, participants will gain practical knowledge to support better engineering decisions and improve equipment reliability and service life.
