Corrosion Control by Materials Selection & Design
Course Description
Proper selection of materials and design are most effective in cutting the cost of corrosion and achieving low cost reliability as corrosion can be designed out of the system. It is always easier and cheaper to erase lines on a drawing than to repair or replace failed equipment or components in service. The theme throughout the course will be focused on how to put the right material in the right place in the right way. Practical rules in selection of materials and design guidelines against many forms of corrosion will be presented. Numerous case histories of real-life problems and practical solutions will be discussed. This comprehensive course provides an excellent avenue for corrosion practitioners, researchers, designers, technical managers, inspection and maintenance engineers, quality control personnel and those involved in failure analysis to update their appreciation of corrosion prevention through materials selection and design.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Learn about how to control corrosion by putting the right materials in their right place
  • Learn about operations of detecting, inspecting, monitoring, controlling corrosion in oil and gas piping, pipelines used in production
